How ARTTA Started
ARTTA Trading started as a dream.
A dream of a boy born in a bamboo house located in the outskirts of a small town known as El Carmen, in Manabi, Ecuador.
A dream of a pre-teenager who moved to Canada in 1997, leaving much behind him to have more opportunities but never losing touch with his mother, family, friends, land, and culture as he grew up.
A dream of a teenager who visited Ecuador every year, becoming more captivated by his roots as he learned more about them.
A dream of a young man who witnessed the challenges faced by hard-working families on a land rich in natural resources.
A dream of a man who never seized to admire the people's resourcefulness, resiliency, and skill in his native land.
A dream of a father who introduced his children to the land that gave birth to him, becoming charmed as he watched them embrace it with love and pride.
A dream of a visionary who realizes there is more he can do to bridge his native country, land, farmers, artisans, and small businesses, with Canada - the land that adopted him as a young child.
A student's dream led to learning about international business and working in Customs compliance and freight forwarding to pave the way towards his vision.
A business owner's dream determined to set the foundation for an entity that drives itself on ethics and sustainability before profit - a company where giving back to the environment, clients, and other small businesses remains more vital than taking from them.
ARTTA is a dream. The dream of a human who never wants to forget where he comes from and now aims to synergize resources across borders, ethically and sustainably.
My name is Oswaldo Arteaga, founder and director of ARTTA Trading Inc., and this is my dream put into action.
