ATAS Hosts Meeting With Product Distributors

ATAS International welcomed product distributors from several countries to the ATAS headquarters in Allentown, Pa.  The guests, all of whom were ATAS product distributors, gathered for education sessions, a plant tour, and information exchanges.  ATAS continues to grow their export business and develop relationships with distributors throughout the world.

Joao DaCosta, director of international business development for ATAS, states, “We are pleased to receive our international distributors for the second biennial meeting.  The four day event has been full of collaborative ideas and enthusiastic networking.  Our guests shared their business experience with ATAS and each other, and all left with new and renewed global relationships.”
 
DaCosta, who is also a professor of international business and global supply chain at Baruch College of The City University of New York (CUNY) in New York City, sees the Greater Lehigh Valley area as a strategic location for the manufacturing industry and for continued growth in the exporting of products.
