Business Services > Communication Systems
In the early 1950s, two WW2 veterans, Anthony Marraccini and Royal Alvis joined together to start the AAT Service Company in the home basement of Tony's mom in the Midland Beach section of Staten Island, New York. Tony, a then recent Columbia Business School graduate, was the sales and marketing leader of the team and Roy, an engineer who held a number of patents during his career, was the technical wizard of the firm.
It was Tony who developed the earliest company logo, an atom with electrons circling, and it was Tony who chose the name AAT because he wanted to be first in the telephone directory and he wanted people who heard the name to unconsciously associate AAT with the hugely successful AT&T. We know it worked; to this day, people will occasionally refer to us as ATT.
The Company was later incorporated as AAT Electronics Corporation, which eventually spun off AAT Communications Corporation in the mid 1960s, which, in turn, spun off the present enterprise, AAT Communications Systems Corporation . . . in early 1995.
Each of us who have been associated with the AAT companies over the years are proud of the association and of the reputation we have built for standing behind every product we have sold or serviced . . . and this is why, through the years . . . we may have dropped the atom, but we have kept the AAT family name.
