“EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS”

Expanding internationally can be a daunting task, but the reward is significant. The U.S. aerospace industry is the largest in the world. In 2010, despite the lingering effects of the global economic downturn, the U.S. aerospace industry made $85 billion in export sales. BRIC (Brazil, China, India and Russia) were a significant portion of that and are experiencing significant growth. Aerospace product consumption is on the rise around the world and well prepared U.S. suppliers are the major beneficiary.

Please join us on Friday, April 20, 2012, 7:30 am – 9:00 am, for an opportunity to accelerate your international expansion. Jason Childs, Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Engineered Materials Platform, Esterline Technologies Corporation, will discuss market penetration strategy, IP protection, staff selection, and basic contract development. Amy Magat, International Trade Specialist, U.S. Commercial Service will describe how to access the many types of export assistance offered by the US Government at little or no cost to domestic suppliers.

The meeting is free, but RSVP’s in advance to Ivan Rosenberg are required to attend.
