ANA Trading Corp., U.S.A. (ANATU) was established in 1971 in a small office in Burbank, California with a staff of three. Its main purpose was to supply aircraft parts to All Nippon Airways (ANA) in cooperation with ANATU's parent company, ANA Trading Co., Ltd. (ANATC). As ANA's operations expanded, so did ANATU's primary function of buying parts and equipment. ANATU realized tremendous growth to coincide with the airline's expansion, which included the start of scheduled international flights from Tokyo to both Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. in 1986 and later to New York and other major cities around the world. As aircraft-related business grew other export business to Japan was added, including: machinery, fresh and dry fruits, home-delivery gift services, ANATU also expanded into importing products and services from Japan and assumed new responsibilities not only for the ANA's family of companies, but also for other companies. ANATU's recent business expansion includes ANA's B767-300 aircraft teardown parts sales in Airframe side. All the teardown work has been performed in CA. or AZ., and we make sure to repair those Rotable parts at FAA 145 repair shops and make sure that they will be available for sale in SV or up condition. Pretty soon we will start tearing down A320 aircraft and so forth.
