Hernon Manufacturing, Inc. Receives Presidential Award for Export Successes
The President’s “E” Award is the highest recognition any U.S. entity can receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports.
Sanford, FL, May 21, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Yesterday, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker presented Hernon Manufacturing, Inc. with the “E” Award for Exports at a ceremony in Washington, DC. The President’s “E” Award is the highest recognition any U.S. entity can receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports.
“The President's ‘E’ Award winners are outstanding American businesses and organizations that have played a crucial role in strengthening and growing our economy through increased U.S. exports,” said Secretary Pritzker. “By selling Made-in-America goods and services internationally, winners are creating jobs in HERNON and their local communities. Congratulations to HERNON. Exports are critical to our nation's competitiveness in the global marketplace and solidify our country's economic leadership across the globe.”
A long-time member of Central Florida’s industrial manufacturing community, HERNON has been committed to delivering world class adhesive, sealant, and impregnation solutions along with precision dispensing systems for nearly four decades.
“What our firm has experienced firsthand is how exports can be a source of growth and job creation. Nationwide, exports have contributed one-third of economic growth since 2009,” said Harry Arnon, President and Chief Executive Officer for Hernon Manufacturing, Inc. “I am honored to be one 45 companies receiving the President’s “E” Award.”
In 1961, President Kennedy signed an executive order reviving the World War II “E” symbol of excellence to honor and provide recognition to America's exporters. Today, Secretary Pritzker honored 45 U.S. companies with the President’s “E” Award for their outstanding work to reduce barriers to foreign markets and to open the door to more trade around the world.
U.S. exports of goods and services hit an all-time record of $2.34 trillion in 2014, accounting for 13.4 percent of U.S. GDP, compared to 7.5 percent 30 years ago. Nationally, jobs supported by exports reached an all-time high last year with more than 11.7 million jobs, up 1.8 million since 2009.
American companies are nominated for “E” Awards through the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service office network, located within the Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration. Record years of successive export growth and an applicant’s demonstration of an innovative international marketing plan that led to the increase in exports is a significant factor in selecting the overall winners.
