Company History
The American Technologies, Inc. story is a classic tale of vision, persistence and hard work.
After a 15-year stint in the insurance restoration industry, Gary Moore decided to follow his passion and start his own environmental remediation company. With a business plan in hand, Gary approached the banking industry to secure a loan to fund his new venture. Instead of walking away with a small business loan, Gary was advised to come back when he had an established business. Undeterred, Gary took out an equity line of credit on his home, and in 1989, American Technologies, Inc. was born. The company consisted of a three-person staff housed in a small store-front office and warehouse in Orange, CA.
Thanks to his technical expertise, marketing acumen and commitment to customer relations, Gary’s reputation quickly grew and so did the company. In 1992, Gary expanded his Southern California presence by opening facilities in Chatsworth and San Diego.
In 1994, Gary increased the company services to include 24-hour emergency response and restoration work. He moved the headquarter's office to a 28,000 square-foot facility in Anaheim, CA to house a small fleet of vans and trucks along with his growing staff.
Gary continued to open new facilities in the late 1990s and early 2000s to expand the company presence in Northern California as well as Arizona and Nevada.
In October 2008, American Technologies, Inc. opened its first office in the Midwest. A 15,000 square foot facility located in Naperville, IL, 30 miles west of Chicago. This new office will open up significant opportunities for ATI throughout the Midwest.
Today, American Technologies, Inc. is recognized as a leader in disaster recovery in the Western U.S. offering environmental remediation, restoration and reconstruction services.
