The group partnership was founded in April 1998 with private shareholders.

Over the past 16 years, the Atlantis Group of Companies has demonstrated its core competencies in high level project management and project facilitation. The company has been involved in a wide and diverse number of projects. Initial research and development within Atlantis primarily focused on defence-related programmes however many of the programmes have resulted in a number of substantial commercial and industrial applications. This has resulted in the group structure expanding in 2017 to accommodate a more diverse capability.
