Atlanta Scales is a local Henry County-based business who is honored to have two generations working to provide exceptional service. Alongside new sales and rentals, Atlanta Scales also provides 24-hour maintenance and repair to commercial and industrials scales.

HERE’S A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT ATLANTA SCALES.

In 1967 Atlanta Scales, Inc. was incorporated as a small service company to repair industrial scales and weighing equipment. A. E. Whitten, Sr. soon started as an employee cleaning levers and weighbridge steel with a blow torch. By September of 1968, Al had saved enough money to buy his first 11 shares of ASI stock; and by July of 1984, he had managed to buy out all partners to become the sole owner of Atlanta Scales. He managed this all while continuing to work out in the field.

At that point Al transitioned into sales and in 1986 his son, Mark Whitten, started as a service technician. By January 2002, Al retired full time and Mark started managing the daily operations of ASI as the new owner alongside his wife, Victoria Whitten. Today, the ASI family continues to grow through its hardworking employees and greatly appreciated customer base.

“When I think about 55 years in business, it’s a great feeling to carry on something that my dad started… the relationships, the dedication to our customers and employees, you just can’t beat it.” Mark proudly states.

On April 1, 2021, AAA Scales & Systems in Gainesville, GA became part of the Atlanta Scales, Inc. family. Together, they work to operate as one united company providing the best possible service and solutions to their customers.

“I’m proud of what my father-in-law started and what my husband has continued to build and grow upon. To know that the 3rd generation is here and on the scene; and they are learning, and they are waiting for their chance to excel when it’s time for Mark and I to step back. I am excited to see what they do.” stated Victoria Whitten Mark and Victoria work daily with their children, Jonah and Noah, and look forward to the future of Atlanta Scales.
