Established in 1995, and based in Los Angeles, California, ATI operates as an intermediary between North American manufacturers and their international counterparts to better satisfy the needs and interests of both.

Western businesses may be extremely interested in the prospect of doing business internationally, but are unclear about the practices, opportunities, necessary documentation and vital overseas market characteristics. Likewise, overseas buyersmay have a great interest in American products, but may not know how to best search the market for products, or speak the language proficiently. Both aspects are essential for negotiating the best prices or effectively customizing products and documentation to meet local import/export laws. ATI’s knowledge and philosophy help promote the right enterprising environment for export-ready manufacturers and their import-ready counterparts.

ATI has the capabilities and knowledge to handle a variety of often potentially risky transactions, in the international trade environment. With such an interest and demand for American goods and products, ATI’s knowledge of cultures and business practices, combined with excellent connections, market research, and a developed image, will provide your business with rewarding opportunities.

ATI was named the United States Small Business Administration's Exporter of the Year for 2000. Click here for more information.
