As HATA grows from year to year they continue to grow the markets they serve. According to Richard his mantra has always been "We want people to do business with us because they want to not because they have to.”  HATA provides quality products and automotive key blanks that always use OEM transponders to ensure that their keys work every time.  Richard and the HATA team look forward to many years of continued growth and appreciate all who have done business with them in the past.
