Supplier Diversity

Diversity is more than an idea. It’s not just a strategy or an initiative. Diversity is a way of life.

As a woman-led, minority-owned business, ATR International began with a framework of valuing diversity since the doors opened in 1988. We’ve progressively matured into the diverse supplier of choice for small and large businesses alike. Professionals from all walks of life trust us to advance and enhance their careers. Because of our distinctive background and strong relationships in the MBE community, companies choose ATR, again and again, to help them meet their diversity requirements. It’s an initiative we take to heart, striving to do more than merely checking boxes. Together, we make a lasting difference in the lives of others – that’s what makes authentic diversity beautiful.
