Reaching Into the Global Market: Export Seminars for Small Manufacturers

Metro Chicago metal manufacturers exported over $11 billion last year. Exports have grown 7% annually since 2012. Is your business ready to export to high growth markets abroad? Today’s global economy is more complex and integrated than ever before. New technologies and rising costs abroad are creating new export opportunities for American metal fabricators and machinery manufacturers.

Exporting companies:

  • Grow faster
  • Profit from the 70% of global purchasing power outside US borders
  • Have reduced geographic risk
  • Take advantage of global demand for Made-in-the-USA products
