FAIRMONT, W.Va., June 29, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin presented the Governor’s Commendation for International Market Entry to Backbone Security along with representatives of 49 other West Virginia businesses assembled at the State Capitol yesterday. The award honors companies that have successfully exported to a new country during calendar year 2011.
Gov. Tomblin joined the West Virginia Export Council and the West Virginia Development Office on June 28 to commend the West Virginia companies.
“Our export performance continues to be a source of pride for our state and strength in our economy,” said Gov. Tomblin. “International trade and investment create and retain jobs in West Virginia. In 2011, West Virginia exports increased 39.5 percent, the highest export growth rate of any state in the nation. I thank our exporting companies for their efforts and congratulate them on their success.”
This award is based on the tradition of displaying the first dollar a business earns. The Governor’s Commendation for International Market Entry frames currency from each new country to which the recipient business began exporting in 2011.
