2002 – 2003 Aton Invest Co., Hungary, Budapest
Position Graphic Designer
The company was estabilished in 1992, right after private enterprises were officially allowed to engage in foreign trade. At the beginning like many other newly estabilished companies, Aton Invest dealt with supplying different kinds of products: starting with tomato juice and finishing with the Ikarus buses. Already at those times the company was supplying milk processing equipment and mini-breweries, although in small quantities.
From 1998 the profile of the company has changed. Having analized financial markets of the Eastern European countries we came to the following conclusion: instead of dealing with food supplies we should help our partners to launch production of these products in their own countries.
