Auburn Hills runs on automotive technology — OEM headquarters, tier-one suppliers, and the engineering shops that feed them. ATex shoots the work itself: the line, the process, the product, cut into films a purchasing team actually watches.
Tier-one & tier-two suppliers
Capability films that walk a sourcing team through the process, plus the stills for line cards and trade booths.
Automotive tech & R&D
Product and process media with the discretion technical work requires — cleared shots only, NDAs honored.
Machine shops & fabricators
One production day on the floor delivers the film, the photo set, and the graphics that match.
The Auburn Hills picture
Between the I-75 technology corridor and the University Drive campuses, Auburn Hills concentrates automotive R&D, supplier headquarters, and advanced manufacturing in a few square miles. These are companies whose customers rarely visit the building — which makes a capability film and honest process photography the plant tour that travels. Most have engineering to be proud of and a website that shows none of it.

Yes — that's most of our industrial work. We coordinate with your safety lead, shoot around the line schedule, and stay out of the way of the work. PPE, escort rules, and restricted zones are respected without being reminded.
Some of our work is under NDA. How do you handle that?
Cleared content only. We shoot what your team approves, review flagged frames before anything leaves the building, and our discreet-project protocols come from LEO/MIL work — this is normal procedure for us, not an accommodation.
What does a capability film actually get used for?
Sourcing teams watch it before they ever visit; sales runs it at trade shows and in follow-up emails; recruiting uses it to show candidates a modern floor. One production day typically yields the film plus a photo set for line cards and the website.
