The publishing house Atlas was established in 1976 as a successor of the French publishing house "Editions Rencontre" and based in Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland, since 1998. The company was specialized in direct-marketing of all kinds of collectibles and operated in various European countries. It became a part of the Italian De Agostini group. From 2002, Atlas released several partworks and subscription series including 1/43rd scale model cars, primarily in France. The models for the majority of these partworks (e.g. Tour de France vehicles, post office vehicles, Citroën models, cars from Eastern Europe) were made by well-known model car manufacturers such as Norev, Universal Hobbies, and Ixo. But there were also some partworks dealing with vehicles known from comic strips (Tintin, Spirou), which were not available from any other manufacturer. In 2008, Atlas also introduced replicas of Dinky Toys models; various series of 1/72nd scale bus and fire engine models, as well as Volvo and Saab cars, police cars and ambulances in 1/43rd scale, followed later. The company went out of business in 2019.
