About Cross - The A. T. Cross Company |
The A.T. Cross Company is a major international manufacturer of fine writing instruments and timepieces.
Cross writing instruments are sold to the consumer gift market through fine stores worldwide. Writing
instruments and timepieces are sold to the business gift market via a network of companies specializing
in recognition programs. Manufacturing facilities are located in Lincoln, RI, U.S.A.
A.T. Cross Company is listed on the American Stock Exchange and is represented by (ATX).
For more than 150 years, Cross has re-invented writing instruments, combining design ingenuity
with jewelry-quality craftsmanship. We were America's first manufacturer of quality writing instruments, and that
means that we've been making pens people use, depend on and enjoy for a long time.
While our history is a story all its own, it all began with Richard Cross, who founded
the company the same year both the Smithsonian and the sewing machine were born, just as
Samuel Morse’s magnetic telegraph pushed Westward and America braced for a war with Mexico.
Cross was a highly skilled pen and pencil maker, who passed his knowledge on to his son,
Alonzo Townsend Cross. In 1916, the Cross family sold the company to an employee, Walter R.
Boss, who led our growth into the company you know today. Today, Walter's grandsons are at the
helm of the company, which became a public security traded on the American Stock Exchange in
1971 (AMEX)
(type in the "ATX" stock symbol).
What we’re most proud of, though, isn’t all that’s changed in the 150 years we’ve been around.
It’s what hasn’t changed. Headquartered in beautiful Lincoln, Rhode Island, just outside
Providence, A.T. Cross is proud to still be a part of the community we helped build. And
we still make products unsurpassed in quality and value, one at a time and by hand, just as
Richard Cross did.
