Cincinnati, Ohio, September 4, 2007 – An independent panel of judges selected Mason, OH-based ATC to be one of 21 finalists for the Better Business Bureau’s 2007 Torch Awards for Marketplace Ethics, giving recognition and honors to those businesses and organizations who fully commit to ethical practices in all aspects of their business dealings.

- Practices concerning the training of its employees and corporate officers in implementing ethical behavior.
- Positive, honest, fair, reliable, and responsive to its customers, suppliers, and employees.
