Lion Apparel gets Governor's Excellence in Exporting Award
Governor Bob Taft presents award to Lion Apparel
Lion Apparel's Governor Bob Taft presented to along with 28 other Ohio companies the Governor's Excellence in Exporting Award ("E" Award).
The annual "E" Award recognizes Ohio companies that have increased export sales volume, have increased Ohio-based employment as a direct result of export activity, or have developed and implemented a strategy to expand international sales. More than 300 companies have received this distinction since 1991.
"To succeed in today's global economy, companies must aggressively explore opportunities to sell their products in various world markets," Taft said. "This year's 'E' Award winners have proven that Ohio companies not only succeed at home, but also thrive in the international arena."
Ohio is the sixth largest exporting state in the United States and the only state whose exports have increased every year since 1998. Ohio companies exported $31.2 billion in goods in 2005, an increase of almost five percent from 2004 figures, according to the Governor's office.
"Lion Apparel's export strategy serves diverse markets from civilian government, to public safety and military, while increasing export awareness in Ohio," said Debbie Bernardo, Lion Director of Transportation and Compliance.
"As a recognized leader in these domestic and worldwide markets, Lion continues to grow its domestic, export and international sales through aggressive exploration of its international opportunities. Ohio based companies can set their sights on the world market and be successful."
