Allen Engineering Corporation: Joey Ward (Paragould, AR)
“The Governor’s Award for Excellence in Global Trade has validated our export efforts over the last few years. We won the award back in 2011 and winning again in 2018 has proven once again our commitment to global trade. The award gave a newfound perspective and appreciation to all of our 180 employees on how our local efforts are having a global impact.”
ECOJOHN: Stefan Johansson (North Little Rock, AR)
“It was a great honor to receive the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Global Trade and Sustainability. Ecojohn exports products all over the world, and it was especially exciting to receive awareness for sustainability since this is a major focus of our company. Being able to share this award has given our customers more insight and confidence in our company and a boost of morale to our employees. The support from ArDEC was great throughout the entire process and the award ceremony itself was a wonderful event.”
