ANA TRADING CORP., USA (ANATU)
ANA Trading Corp., USA (ANATU), the trading arm of All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd, was established in 1971 in a small office in Burbank, CA with only a staff of 3. Since then, ANATU has developed and expanded to support ANA’s daily maintenance operation in Japan in aircraft parts procurement, as well as sales of excess stock inventory and teardown parts.
THE SURPLUS MATERIAL SECTION
The Surplus Material Section at ANATU, has been an important contributor by reducing costs and inventory through our procurement and sales of material for over 30 years. Our ANA-traced rotable units are high quality, reflecting the excellent workmanship of ANA's in-house maintenance shops in Japan. All parts are stocked in Torrance, California to better meet customer needs and requirements, providing inventory closer to the actual market and repair stations to bridge the gap between Japan. All available inventory are posted on ILS, PartsBase, Aero Exchange and OneAero for the buyer's convenience.
