SigmaTEK Honored for Excellence in Exporting

June 21, 2006 - Ohio Governor Bob Taft recognized SigmaTEK Systems, LLC with the Governor’s Excellence in Exporting Award (“E” Award) in a ceremony held on June 21, 2006, at the Statehouse Atrium in Columbus.

Twenty-eight other Ohio companies and organizations were also presented with the “E” Award.

“To succeed in today’s global economy, Ohio businesses must look beyond our nation’s borders and explore opportunities in foreign markets,” Taft said. “These companies are growing and creating jobs here in Ohio as a result of aggressively selling their products throughout the world.”

“SigmaTEK is honored to receive this award,” said Ben TerreBlanche, President and CEO of SigmaTEK Systems. “It speaks well of our successes in both the domestic and international markets and our growth as a company.”

Established in 1985, the “E” Award recognizes Ohio companies that have increased sales volume through exports, increased Ohio-based employment as a direct result of export activity, or developed and implemented a strategy to expand their international sales. Since 1991, more than 300 companies have received the award.
