271% Increase In Exports Earns Presidential Export 'E' Award

Voss Industries, a major supplier of high quality specialty clamping, coupling and ducting products to the global aviation, aerospace, defense and general industrial marketplaces, has been recognized for its three year 271 percent increase in exports with the 2008 Presidential Export "E" Award – the highest honor the U.S. Government can give to firms that have made a significant contribution to the increase of American exports. Voss is an ESOP (employee owned) small business.

Through its Aerospace Division, Voss specializes in the design, development, manufacture and export of commercial and military pneumatic ducting components for environmental control systems, bleed air systems, missile components, accessory attachments, landing gear, aircraft exhaust and FAA/PMA replacement parts.

Voss Industries additionally serves the industrial marketplace producing custom clamp and coupling devices for a broad spectrum of OEM applications, from cryogenic to high temperature systems. Markets include heavy-duty truck, diesel engine and component manufacturers; agricultural, food and chemical processing; and communications industries.

"Our export success," notes Daniel W. Sedor, Sr., president, "is the direct result of an aggressive marketing and research effort specifically designed to showcase our exceptional capabilities in engineering, design, product development, and innovative manufacture. We utilized a combination of potential customer site visits, trade shows, local country sales representatives, and our in-house experts as well as partnering with the U.S. Commerce Department.

"In addition to our 271% increase in exports, we have realized revenue growth and an increase in employment. As an ESOP organization, each employee/owner has a vested interest in not only meeting but also exceeding the needs of our customers. The honor of receiving the prestigious 'E' Award is a testament to our employee/owners and their commitment to the industries and markets we serve." www.vossind.com
