MADISON – Gov. Jim Doyle announced today that AD-TECH Medical Instruments, Racine, Racine County, has received a $5,000 Wisconsin Trade Project Program grant. AD-TECH Medical Instruments is a high-technology medical device company.

“My Grow Wisconsin plan calls for expanding Wisconsin’s international trade market for small businesses,” Gov. Doyle said. “I am pleased that AD-TECH Medical Instruments will use this funding to look for opportunities in the Southeast Asian trade market.”
