Welcome to the U.S. Commercial Service in Pittsburgh
Helping U.S. companies export since 1980
“We proved exporting is not just for the big guys. We took a long term approach to new market development and with the help of the U.S. Commercial Service, we had a successful formula. I believe our efforts in Brazil and elsewhere prove that we in the U.S. can innovate and compete in a global arena. I could not be more proud of our team and the job they continue to do to help our customers drive safety, efficiency and productivity, all with product produced here in Washington, PA. We are proud to be adding jobs to the local economy because of this export growth and look forward to continuing to do so into the future.”
- John Apostolides, RPM President
