Specialist water management company, the Atlantis Corporation , is the first Australian company accepted into the prestigious Unites States Green Building Council (USGBC).

Atlantis’ acceptance by the USGBC marks the company’s growing product and systems recognition in the United States’ water industry and acknowledgement as an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional stormwater engineering methods.

Atlantis MD, Humberto Urriola, has invested significant time and resources to enter the growing ‘green’ market in the USA, including the appointment of distributors, speaking roles, involvement in trade exhibitions and a sustained communications program with decision makers.

“The USGBC is becoming a powerful industry organization, with thousands of members and federal government recognition and support. They have been integral in developing and implementing the LEED Guide (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) and offering solutions to environmental problems,” said Mr Urriola.

“Being the first Australian company in the USGBC is also tremendous recognition of our innovative products and systems and we are very proud,” he added.

The company’s expanding presence in the North American market is in addition to its strong representation in the Asian, European and UK markets.
