Dow Jones Description
The A. T. Cross Company is a major international manufacturer of fine writing instruments, timepieces, and personal accessories. Cross products are sold to the consumer gift market through fine stores worldwide. Writing instruments, timepieces , and personal accessories are sold to the business gift market via a network of companies specializing in recognition programs. A. T. Cross Company is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) under the symbol ATX. For more than 158 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.
