With over thirty-five years in the business, our engineers and technicians bring an unparalleled level of skill and integrity to their work. As 2011 comes to a close, ATA is pleased to share a glimpse of several of our most interesting cases.

Robert Bell v. MasterCraft Boat Company, et al (No. 140630, Superior Court of California, County of Butte) Boat performance testing by ATA revealed dangerous characteristics of the 24’ pleasure craft. CEO, Bob Swint also testified to the requirements and standards for testing and to the lack of information and warnings in the owner’s manual. The jury awarded the record sum of almost $ 32 million to the plaintiffs.

Michael Barbee, Individually and as Next Friend of Kristopher Allen Barbee v. Barbara Scott et al (No. 2010-18580, District Court of Harris County, Texas, 165th Judicial District) ATA reconstructed a motorcycle and 18 wheeler accident involving our client, Crete Carriers, proving that the motorcycle involved was traveling at excessive speeds.

Deirdre Worley et al v. Contract Transportation et al (No. AP-10-306, District Court of Leon County, Texas, 12th Judicial District) ATA, in defense of Sherwin Williams, determined vehicle position, performed line of sight testing and road and highway design studies in an accident involving an 18 wheeler and a hay trailer.

Manuel Tezanos et al v. Boss Hoss Cyles, Inc. (No. 3:09-cv-0284, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, Galveston) Senior Engineer, Ed Fritsch, performed a mechanical analysis of the strength of and materials used in an axle of a motorcycle involved in a crash.

United States Coast Guard v. BM3 Paul A. Ramos (No. 1-10, Eleventh Coast Guard District)

ATA performed extensive visibility testing on a seven-ton Coast Guard patrol boat, proving that for a great portion of the operating range, there were significant blind spots while piloting the 33 foot vessel. Seating and standing eye height studies also confirmed the pilot’s inability to properly see from the helm. American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards formed the basis for the testing. Additionally, ATA Associates did light testing to examine additional visibility issues, finding that the shore lighting hampered the operator’s ability to identify boat traffic.

Robert M. Hines vs. Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership (No. CJ-2009-847, District Court of Rogers County, Oklahoma) ATA Associates built physical models for the courtroom of an explosion at a chemical plant that occurred during a routine maintenance cycle.

Kimberly Tompkins and Sandra Tompkins v. Chaparral Steel Midlothian, L.P., ET. AL.(No. 71927, District Court of Harris County, Texas, 40th Judicial District) The primary cause of a steel mill explosion was incorrectly attributed to molten lava melting hydraulic hoses. ATA engineers and metallurgist inspected the plant and analyzed fluids and found the primary cause of the explosion to be a natural gas leak.

ATA Associates continues to produce three-dimensional computer models for the Ira C. Eaker Center for Professional Development at the Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama.

MEZZI Offers a Rare Sneak Peek at Hot New iPad Cases

MEZZI Offers a Rare Sneak Peek at Hot New iPad Cases











MEZZI iPad Cases


Vancouver, BC, Canada (Vocus/PRWEB) April 15, 2011

MEZZI, world renowned aluminum case manufacturer, is offering a glimpse of a forthcoming hot new product before its arrival in early May. The company’s new line of iPad cases will be available in three colors – black, pink and white. With an estimated 7+ million Apple iPads and iPad 2 sold in the first quarter of 2011 and 6+ million original iPads sold during past Christmas season, MEZZI finds the demand for protecting these devices is on the rise.

“When consumers invest between $ 500 – $ 800 for a compact mobile device that fits so nicely in their backpack or briefcase, they also want to ensure their investment will stay safe and operational for as long as possible,” explains MEZZI President, David Mezzi. “This is why MEZZI has brought its expertise, brand awareness and touch of style to provide a cost-effective iPad case for the millions who need them.”

When Apple’s Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad 2 in late March, the tech world was abuzz with how different the iPad 2 would be from its predecessor. Dual-sided cameras, a faster dual-core processor, thinner, lighter and a 10-hour battery life – these are what set the iPad 2 apart. Thousands waited in line to be one of the first to purchase the new iPad 2, and reviews have shown that the mobile device is so far living up to its hype. Since the iPad and iPad 2 will long be part of everyone’s future, so is the need to protect it against the potentially damaging mishaps these devices are exposed to every day – including bumps, scratches and light splashes of coffee.

MEZZI’s new hand-stitched, leather-replicate iPad cases will fit and protect both the original iPad and the iPad 2 from these minor mishaps and more. And with a price tag of $ 49.95, it means affordable protection for the mass consumer.

“We are very excited about the release of our new iPad cases,” says David Mezzi, “especially with the three color offerings we will have. The iPad and iPad 2 are great tools, whether for pleasure, business or education. Why not keep them safe and secure?”

MEZZI current and expanding lines of aluminum cases have laid the foundation for the company’s many successes in the industry. Several of its briefcases and laptop cases have appeared in high-profile movies, television shows and music videos. Recently, a MEZZI aluminum case was used in Jay-Z’s “Show Me What You Got” music video and on FOX’s hit show, “Fringe.” On the big screen, the company’s cases have appeared alongside Jason Statham in 13 and Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III. They have long been a stable on NBC’s hit game show Deal or No Deal.

For more information about the release of MEZZI’s upcoming iPad cases or to see photos their new product, visit MEZZI.com. MEZZI can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

About MEZZI

MEZZI has been manufacturing and retailing fashionable, affordable aluminum cases for more than 15 years. In that time, MEZZI has grown its business from only a handful of briefcases to a full line of cases suitable for a variety of uses, including metal gun cases, art portfolio cases, laptop briefcases, travel cases and business card cases.
