We are also responsible for mixing calibration solutions that we use to test the instruments and to bottle and sell to our customers.

Company
What I love about ATAGO is the atmosphere in the office. We all get along really well and we are like a small family. I also appreciate our company events because I feel the company shows us gratitude to us of our daily efforts in the office. Different companies that I used to work before didn’t hold any kind of event. Every time after the company events gives me motivation and makes me feel ‘I want to do 110% to achieve our goals’.
