March 5th, 2012 was an exciting day as ATG unveiled its new corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. Participating in the ribbon cutting ceremony were His Highness Sheik Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline; Mr. Tim Clark President of Emirates Airline; Jackie Autry (Mrs. Gene Autry), ATG’s Principal Investor; Raymond Caldiero, ATG’s Chairman; Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel; and Simon Kay, ATG’s President & CEO.

More than 220 people attended the well-received ceremony, including 130 ATG employees and nearly 100 guests. The guest list included multiple representatives from ATG’s major customers and suppliers, as well as local dignitaries including senior representatives from nearby Florida Atlantic University.
