Values that guide us towards a sustainable and responsible future.
At Atarfil, our values are not applied separately. They work as a whole.
Each one has its own essence, but they only make sense when lived together: innovation without excellence is useless; authenticity without a commitment to people is not enough; global coherence without genuine listening is not possible.
These five principles support each other. They form the foundation on which we design solutions, make decisions, and build relationships. They help us move forward without losing sight of who we are, what we do, and who we do it for.
Because more than describing us, these values align us.
More than values, this is how we work. This is Atarfil. Proud to be.
PURPOSE-DRIVEN INNOVATION
At Atarfil, to innovate is not to add — it is to move forward. It means anticipating the real challenges faced by those working to protect the environment and offering solutions that didn’t exist before.
We innovate to better address what truly matters: reducing risks, preventing the unexpected, facilitating on-site work, and creating products tailored to specific environments and demands.
This innovation is born from our technical expertise, active listening, and a constant commitment to improvement.
EXCELENCE IN EVERY DECISION
At Atarfil, excellence is not a final goal, but a way of thinking and acting. Every technical decision, every material, every review, every detail matters.
We are committed to durable, reliable solutions that are in harmony with their environment. We don’t settle for “good enough.” We believe that when the purpose is protection, it must be done with the utmost rigor.
TRANPARENCY & AUTHENTICITY
At Atarfil, we don’t need to appear. We simply do things the way we know how.
For us, authenticity is not an attitude, it’s a practice: being technically capable and always acting with honesty, without pretenses or embellishments. We say things as they are — whether on-site, in a meeting room, or on a call with a client.
Trust is earned through consistency, not by overpromising or improvising based on the situation. That’s why we prefer to repeat, explain, and correct — but never disguise. Because what we deliver is made to last. And to last, we must also tell the truth.
PEOPLE
At Atarfil, people are not only at the origin of what we do, they are also its destination.
Our work has real impact: every solution we develop, every meter we produce, is designed to protect environments where people live, work, and will grow.
When containment works, no one notices. But if it fails, the entire environment suffers. And safe containment doesn’t just prevent today’s problems, it avoids consequences others would have to pay for tomorrow.
Internally, we build through listening, closeness, and respect. But the true meaning of everything we do lies outside: in the impact we leave on the lives of those who trust us, directly or indirectly.
GLOBAL COHERENCE
At Atarfil, we don’t segment by markets, we segment by needs.
Although we operate in very different contexts, the technical challenges we address are essentially the same: risks that must be contained, materials that must endure, environments that must be protected.
What changes is the framework: legislation, culture, level of awareness, or available resources. Our response adapts to all of that, but without compromising what matters most: the same technical standard, the same level of rigor, anywhere in the world.
ATARFIL
Mission
To offer safe and long-lasting containment solutions, bringing all our technical knowledge, experience, and capacity for innovation to serve both industry and the planet. We are committed to reliable and sustainable solutions, developed with responsibility and executed with excellence.
“The best way to protect the environment is to prevent the failure of what protects it.”
Vision
We want to be much more than a geomembrane manufacturer.
Our vision is to become a global platform/ecosystem for safe containment, where products, technical knowledge, innovation, services, and relationships come together to make it possible to protect what matters most.
At Atarfil, we understand that safe containment does not depend solely on the product, but on an ecosystem: proper design, rigorous installation, close technical support, and a trusted network. We are the hub that connects these elements so they work in harmony.
We are committed to a specialized and profitable model, where we precisely segment our solutions without losing focus: the customer is at the center, and our standards do not change depending on the market, because what we protect is always essential.
We want to be the company that cares. That listens. That acts with excellence at every step. That builds lasting relationships. That seeks impact without giving up profitability.

This is ATARFIL
Proud to be
At Atarfil, we don’t build narratives, we build trust.
What is described here is not a statement of intent, but a way of working forged through years of experience, mistakes, learning, and commitment. Our mission doesn’t change depending on who reads it, because it comes from something real: protecting what matters, without failing.
We have evolved from being a geomembrane manufacturer to becoming a provider of safe containment solutions. But we didn’t get here by expanding our product range, we did it by expanding our way of thinking: understanding that a technical solution is only truly effective if it protects people, the environment, and those who install it.
These values don’t compete with each other. They reinforce one another. They only make sense when applied together — like a network that supports what we do and how we do it.
That’s why we don’t just talk about what we do. We talk about how we do it, and why we do it that way. And that, more than a culture, is a way of being in the world.
