If you are in the business of manufacturing packaging machinery, you had better be prepared to compete in a world-wide arena. Twenty years ago, only the large companies were selling packaging machinery world-wide on a consistent basis. Today it is a requirement. All of the large consumer goods manufacturers have plants throughout the world. Often times they want to standardize with one manufacturer throughout all their facilities. This requires having the ability to build and export to foreign locations. Not that big of a deal.
Small manufacturers can find a plethora of assistance in exporting from their local economic development councils. Every state has a Department of Commerce branch that is more than willing to assist in getting started with exporting. Don’t wait for the government representative to come knocking on your door to tell you they are here to help you, contact them and get the assistance you need. Your tax dollars are paying for it, so take advantage of what they have to offer.
