Going Abroad

It has been an exciting time being involved with the continued growth of EnduroSolv and solid water treatment. A big part of the growth has been what has been happening abroad. APTech staff this year have visited England, Czech Republic, Canada, China and Thailand to spread the word on the solid line of cooling tower and boiler products. I'm sure moving forward we will visit many exciting new places, as well.

When I get to my computer in the morning it is amazing and now quite common to see a string of emails that happened over night during the work day in some other country. It was eye opening being in Shanghai and realizing that there was exactly a twelve hour time difference ... when my wife was going to bed in Cincinnati I was a couple hours into the next work day. It is just crazy to think while I have been sleeping away our customers are out spreading the word about EnduroSolv and APTech Group's whole line of products.

While we still strive to push our products in the US we will take every opportunity to grow abroad. A couple of us attended a manufacturing forum today and the focus was on exporting and sending US manufactured goods abroad. One of the speakers stated that exported goods only account for 11% of the US GDP. Today I was asked to guess what percentage of our business was abroad ... I guessed 10%. It turns out to be over 18%. Even as we are just getting started in this endeavor we are outpacing the average in exports and we look froward to the challenges of continuing to grow globally.

Whether your are reading this blog from somewhere in the US or at some far off corner of the globe, feel free to contact APTech Group about how we can help you with you water treatment needs. We've always felt our cooling tower and boiler products were world class ... now they are truly going worldwide!
