About Us
I-Kiribati owned and run since 1989
Located in South Tarawa, Kiribati, LMTA is a local family-owned business started by Ata & Bernadette Teaotai in 1989 as a restaurant and small general store. LMTA now includes vehicle sales and rental services, workshop facilities and general cargo imports. LMTA has expanded from its humble behind but we remain committed to excellent service, honesty and reliability and are focused on supporting local development and keeping profits in Kiribati. LMTA is also affiliated with the Te Uri group of stores, restaurants and general cargo imports.
Community
The needs of our customers are very important to us. However, we also believe in supporting the community that surrounds us. LMTA is proud to sponsor a number of local sporting teams and sporting events here in Kiribati. We also have an initiative through Te Uri that supports local women to earn from home by making tibutas and local handicrafts. We have a local produce section within Antebuka Store where we display and sell local foods, handicrafts and clothes from the villages on South Tarawa and the outer islands across Kiribati.
