Walker Machinery Receives Award

WVCA member, Walker Machinery Company, was among the businesses awarded the Governor's Commendation for International Market Entry last week by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, the West Virginia Export Council and the West Virginia Development Office. This award honors companies that have successfully exported to a new country in the past year. Walker was recognized for doing business with Saudia Arabia, South Africa and Germany. In 2012, West Virginia's exports reached a record high of $11.3 billion. The Governor's Award is a framed piece of currency from each new country to which the recipient began exporting in 2012. Congratulations to the folks at Walker.
