Established in 1998, Bato International Corporation was first conceived by the family patriarch, Hugo Streegan, as a “catch-all” factory that will support Pacific Traders and its affiliates of their furniture component needs.

Today, Bato International Corporation manufactures furniture hardware made of brass and aluminum using the technology of die casting (or permanent mold casting) and investment casting (or lost wax method of ceramic casting).  Additionally, it also produces resin and fiberglass components.

Its foundry which is capable of casting, machining, stamping and finishing (antiquing) produces handles, knobs, hinges, drawer pulls and other hardware parts suited for both classical and contemporary furniture designs.    Its vast manufacturing capability enables it to produce unique hand carved wax for the casting of lamps and lighting components, candle holders, sculptures and tabletop accessories.
