Exporting Consulting | Global Trade

Instead of loading your Made in the USA or Made in CA products on cargo ships bound for countries eager to buy high-quality goods, too many manufacturers are leaving the rewards of global trade to competitors. If you are a manufacturer seeking to maximize your business growth and improve your bottom line, you might consider exporting. We know it can be an overwhelming task, but CMTC is here to assist in the following areas:

Determining whether exporting is RIGHT for your company
Getting started in exporting
Integrating the export process in your business operation
Managing the global logistics process
Assisting you with your export business growth
Identifying obstacle(s) to export sales growth

What People Are Saying:

I would recommend ExporTech in a heartbeat. Part of my reasoning for doing ExporTech was to find out: is international even viable? ExporTech gave me answers. Wow, I learned a lot. And some of it was different than my previous assumptions. It forced you to be sure: 1) that the market exists, and 2) even more importantly that you can penetrate that market...

Beth Sumners

President, Firequick Products

ExporTech absolutely had an impact on us. Not only in terms of dollars; more importantly, it gave us vision. And, it allowed us to have the comfort and confidence to pursue international opportunities. The program helped us figure out how to navigate outside the U.S. We had participated in domestic tradeshows before, but after the program we were better prepared...

Sharla Marocchi

Office & Export Manager, Grandma Lucy's

ExporTech is a great program. They walk you through the action steps – things that are easy to put off – that will help with your domestic and international business, like talking about your competitive advantage. It forces your team to talk about it and think about it. Most companies don’t have the discipline to do that on their own...

Randy Cecola

President, Kendon Industries

ExporTech was very informative and worthwhile. The most valuable aspect was interfacing with export agencies. And learning about the nuts and bolts: harmonized codes, financing opportunities. It also gave you a macro view of how to approach international. ExporTech is comprehensive enough for any stage of exporting experience...

Mark Peabody

CEO, Peabody Engineering

The information was excellent! We learned more in 1 day than in 6 months of [working with another organization]. What was unique was that it was condensed, they brought the right people to you – like the Export-Import Bank – that I didn’t even know existed. So much information – all extremely valuable—that would really help. The right people, great documentation..
