U.S. Commercial Service Illinois Client Testimonials:
“… The Department of Commerce is a great asset in helping us find new leads and providing reports that aid us in deciding which countries we should target to generate more sales,” notes Mr. Tyson Ely of Midwest Industrial Sales. Mr. Joe Vinachi, the President of Midwest Industrial Sales, estimates that the firm’s success in export sales has saved at least 3 jobs and added two within the past three years. In a small company of only 24 employee’s total, this is significant.”

“ShopperTrak continues to build its global business through smart international expansion efforts. As a result of the trade counseling on local market conditions and market entry strategies provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Commercial Service, ShopperTrak changed the direction of our international partnering strategy and signed a commercial agreement with a Brazilian trading company to sell an initial order of equipment to setup our Brazilian distribution network.” ShopperTrak, Todd Starcevich, Chief Operations Officer
