RMT spotlights Collapsible ATLAS Drawer
Collapsed, the Collapsible ATLAS Drawer cuts storage footprint across kitchens, galleys and carts, improving organization while reducing bulk
In airline service, friction often hides in the smallest details: a crowded cart, a tight galley or equipment that takes up more space than it should. The Collapsible ATLAS Drawer from RMT Global Partners is designed to remove those pressure points for both caterers and cabin crew.
“RMT developed the Collapsible ATLAS Drawer with a clear mandate: solve real operational challenges on both sides of the service chain,” Richard Tuttle, Founder and CEO of RMT Global Partners.

The Collapsible ATLAS Drawer is a lightweight and durable galley drawer that folds flat when not in use, helping caterers and cabin crew save space, speed-up handling and work more efficiently in tight galleys.
“From day one, our team worked hand-in-hand with caterers and inflight crews to map their workflows, identify friction points and understand the physical constraints they navigate every day,” says Tuttle. “Every design choice, from material selection to the mechanics of the collapse system, was grounded in real-world use rather than theoretical engineering.”
The product’s snap-open and quick-collapse functions link efficiency with practicality. For caterers, the ability to expand the drawer instantly during loading and collapse it just as quickly afterward dramatically speeds up preparation and reduces handling time. Collapsed, the drawers cut storage footprint across kitchens, galleys and carts, improving organization while reducing bulk.
“Many teams have told us the design not only saves space but also brings a sense of order to their workflow. And the lightweight construction is a standout benefit, it makes every step of handling easier,” says Tuttle.

RMT understands that adoption depends on intuitive use, durability and consistency across the system: equipment must feel intuitive and operate the same way across fleets and catering partners.
“We engineered the drawer to feel familiar in the hands of flight attendants, eliminating the need for training or adjustment, a critical factor when thousands of crew members across global fleets will use the product daily,” says Tuttle. “Durability, ease of handling and instinctive operation were non-negotiables.”
When that consistency holds across aircraft and operations, the payoff is operational. Airlines save time, reduce errors and streamline service. “Our goal is always the same: deliver solutions that make life easier for the people who keep the industry moving,” says Tuttle, emphasizing that “Where catering meets cabin service, every second and every inch matters.”
