American Thermoplastic Company is a great example of a small manufacturer becoming successful by finding its own niche in the marketplace. Rather than taking on the giants of the loose leaf binder industry, American Thermoplastic developed another strategy. As a result, they are a leading supplier of custom imprinted binders and related loose-leaf products to business, industrial, and educational accounts throughout North America. |

| In 1954, Aaron Silberman opened a small company on First Avenue in Pittsburgh to provide local businesses with foil-stamped vinyl products. American Thermoplastic Company’s production and office facilities were located on the fifth floor of a small building and Mr. Silberman juggled the duties of president, salesman, and production manager. | |
|
Over the years, the company flourished and the next generation stepped in. In 1994, the company’s 40th anniversary, ATC moved into a state-of-the-art building in one of Pittsburgh’s Industrial Development Parks. This specially designed and custom built manufacturing plant, warehouse, and office facility is larger and much more efficient than the previous location. |

In 1999, their DTE Accounting software suite was upgraded in preparation for Y2K. Their existing UNIX based HP9000 system more than adequately managed their custom, in-house Sales Order and DTE Accounting software needs. Incorporating their Sales Order data with Down To Earth General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Payroll accounting applications created the complete software package -- Down To Earth was the link to bring the sales and accounting together on a single system. |

| The year 2005 was another year of change but this time for the accounting staff. Their previous Down To Earth software was upgraded to version 7 and transferred from their UNIX based system to a Windows Server. The lengthy historical data was kept intact with the conversion while the new features of version 7 proved their worth within the Windows environment. | |
