PreventionGenetics LLC Recognized For Exporting Excellence

PreventionGenetics, LLC, along with Chippewa Valley Bean Co. Inc. and Gamber-Johnson LLC, is one of the 2015 recipients of Governor’s Export Achievement Award, which recognizes success in global business development.

“These three businesses are among the thousands of Wisconsin companies that have experienced significant growth after starting or expanding their exporting efforts,” Governor Scott Walker said. “That focus on international markets has resulted in the state reaching a new record for exporting in 2014 at $23.4 billion, which is up 18 percent over four years ago.”

The awards honor businesses that have achieved significant growth or implemented innovative strategies in exporting. Nominees were evaluated on measurable export growth, innovation and contributions to the state’s overall economy and trade development.

“With more than 80 percent of the world’s economic growth over the next decade expected to occur outside the United States, exporting provides an important avenue for growth for Wisconsin companies of all sectors and all sizes,” said Reed Hall, secretary and CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), which administers the award. “We applaud these great Wisconsin companies for their leadership in exporting.”

“PreventionGenetics is honored to receive this award,” said Dr. James Weber, company president. “Our efforts to market our services to other countries have been significantly aided by WEDC, which has allowed us to participate in trade visits to other countries and provided financial assistance for attending international trade shows. This is a great example of the type of public-private cooperation that will drive the Wisconsin economy forward.”
