In 1999, William “Bill” Miller and Tanya Miller took a leap of faith when Bill left a secure job to go out on his own and become a steel trade importer on a global level.

Bill began by traveling extensively to visit mills and find the best quality products for his customers.

Bill set up ATL’s first office, in a shed in his mother’s backyard and spent countless hours cultivating strong relationships with overseas suppliers, many of which still exist today.

With a consistent supply of good quality items and a loyal customer base, Bill was able to build ATL to become one of the biggest steel suppliers in Canada.

With this growth and success in Western Canada, Bill looked into expanding into Eastern Canada. In 2017, ATL’s sister company, Amalgamated Trading East (ATE), opened.

ATL and ATE will continue to grow, modernize and adapt to the needs of the market and our customers.
