The Alatac was an automobile built by Automobiles Catala of Braine-le-Comte, Belgium, from 1913 to 1914.
The company had its headquarters in the Rue de Tenbosch in Brussels and its manufacturing plants in Braine-le-Comte.
Production ended in 1914 with the invasion of Belgium and the escalation of World War I.
Two models were made, one being a 9/12CV and the other 12/16CV, both having four cylinder, sidevalve Chapuis-Dornier monobloc engines.
They had a conventional Malicet & Blin chassis, an attractive V-radiator, and detachable wire wheels.
Etienne Catala took part in the 1914 Rally d' Ostende in one of his firm's cars.
