AvaLAN Networks
AvaLAN partnered with ATN as a fledgling company in 2014 and has been growing steadily ever since. The implementation of the ISO 9001 quality management system has allowed AvaLAN to provide a quality product more smoothly and continuously to customers and it would not have been possible without the guidance of ATN. The processes we implemented for ISO 9001 made quality issues less severe and our certification secured us additional customers and more sales. The internal audits given by ATN have been extremely helpful in preparing for our surveillance and recertification audits and since ATN was with us since the implementation of our QMS they have played a large role in our success. We are very appreciative of the service they provide, and we would recommend them to anyone interested in acquiring ISO 9001 certification.

Branham Accessories
We were pleasantly surprised at how much ATN helped us improve our inventory system, which in turn greatly increased our ability to track parts and provide quicker out the door services to our customers. The Cullman ATN Team, which is our local group, helped us tremendously. We plan to utilize their services for more improvement projects and training.

Briggs and Stratton Corporation
“Over the last 10 years ATN has been a valued partner with Briggs & Stratton, Auburn Plant, for a large portion of our Technical Training. The instructors are subject matter experts not only in a class room setting but how the training applies on the plant floor. Being a 24/7 operation, they are willing to meet our team members schedule to deliver the training. Would highly recommend to others.”
-Jerry “Cisco” King, Human Resources Manager
Connector Manufacturing Company of America
“The yearly OSHA training course was an excellent class. The information was presented in a way that was easy to understand and follow for all the employees who attended. Tim Croley, the instructor, is very knowledgeable on all safety topics and was able to share his knowledge and experiences with the employees for Connector Manufacturing Company/Hubbell Corporation. We also have many new employees, so it was great to have a presentation that provides various examples of equipment, tools, and work areas for the training course. The OSHA training class was a great opportunity to learn more about OSHA regulations and how they affect our industry.
We would like to thank Mr. Croley and ATN for all the training they have provided over the last couple of years. It has been very beneficial, and we look forward to using them in the future.”

Dwell & Décor Outdoor
Approximately 11 years ago, we contacted ATN with a request to help us install ISO 9001. Thanks to the help of an ATN, the program was installed as a success. The following year, we contacted ATN with a request to help us install ISO 14001. Once again, ATN representatives were on our premises to help with the launch of this system. Of course, the new standards of 2015 came along within the next few years. ATN sent representatives to help with the upgrade of each program. The bottom line is that we initiated these programs on our own as a means of continuous improvement. But, over the years, one of our largest customers has basically created a quality system that requires all vendors to be ISO registered for 9001:2015 as well as 14001:2015. Both programs are reviewed by this customer through factory assessments. There are minimum scores that must be obtained to remain in good standing as a supplier. Thanks to ATN, we have no problems meeting that minimum score.

Johnson Labs
We are so thankful for the ATN team walking us through analyzing our processes and creating more efficient and profitable procedures. We were so impressed by how practical the trainings were and how Brandon Lineberry and the team jumped in to help us implement the new processes. Brandon’s follow-up calls are also key to our success with the training. He always checks in about a month after the training to see what we’ve been able to implement and answer any questions. No other company gives us the quality instruction and follow-up support that ATN does. Thank you for investing in small businesses!
