Trade Specialist
"The Trade Center has been a great resource for our small, quickly growing company. From the Gold Key Service to answering the many questions we have regarding exporting our product, it really is a one-stop-shop to exporting. As a small business, we are fortunate to have this resource. We have participated in trade missions and also for general counsel regarding our export strategy and now include this group as a great resource for our growth plans. Export will account for about 30% of our business in 2010 - having MITC on our side is great peace of mind."
