Whom We Are 

Over 70 years of manufacturing excellence… 

Our diverse manufacturing and engineering experience run deep, wide, and long. Our journey began in 1946 out of a small shop located in Emeryville California. At that time, the company was Atlas Pacific Engineering. In 1986 Atlas Pacific relocated to Pueblo, CO. After decades of success and significant growth in Pueblo, the strategic decision was made to relocate the Engineering, Sales, and Service functions of Atlas Pacific to Centennial, CO, and strictly focus on manufacturing core competencies in Pueblo. In 2021, the Pueblo facility was renamed Gulfco Manufacturing.

Family-owned and operated company supporting the Global Food Supply Chain… 

We are a family-owned manufacturing organization with best-in-class operations and a “small company” culture that produces parts, equipment, and industrial solutions for the global food processing and packaging industries. As a proud member of the Gulftech family of companies, we serve as the turnkey supplier to a diverse portfolio of multi-national custom machinery and parts suppliers, each of which is the leader in their respective markets throughout the world. 

Made in the USA… 

We are headquartered in Pueblo, Colorado with state-of-the-art facilities in excess of 160,000 square feet and expansion capability. Our primary manufacturing processes include precision Machining, Fabrication, Welding, Warehousing, and Assembly.  

Long-term Strategy… 

We are an organization that makes decisions based on long-term success and growth (vs. quarterly filings). Team members choose the more difficult path over the “path of least resistance”, always doing “what is best” for the customer, the company, and our future.

Highly successful yet Continuously Improving… 

We are an organization that focuses on innovation and continual improvement while honoring our past and the efforts of those who made us the success we are today.
