Stateline World Trade Association to honor Rockford company with annual International Trade Award
[Beloit, WI / Rockford, IL] – The Stateline World Trade Association (SLWTA) is pleased to announce that the 2014 recipient of its annual International Trade Award will be Leading Edge Hydraulics, a Rockford-based manufacturer of hydraulic fluid conveyance systems for a variety of industries, including the off-highway & mobile hydraulics industries.
Each April, the SLWTA brings together leaders in business, government and academia to recognize individual Stateline companies for their accomplishments in international trade and for measurable success in the expansion of the importing and/or exporting sides of their business. In announcing this year’s honoree, SLWTA’s president, Mike Delany, notes that “by recognizing businesses annually with our International Trade Award, the SLWTA strives to highlight examples of successful international strategies, in order that the Stateline business community may draw from them both inspiration and encouragement. Leading Edge Hydraulics is an excellent case-study of an area business exploring opportunities in markets outside the U.S. and thereby helping to create opportunities here at home for Stateline residents.“
This year’s award will be presented at the SLWTA’s annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, April 24, at the Ironworks Hotel, located at 500 Pleasant St. in downtown Beloit, WI. The event is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
The evening will begin with a networking cocktail hour starting at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 6:15 p.m., and the awards presentation at 7:00 p.m. The program will include presentations from representatives of the winning company about their international activities.
