His Excellency Franklin L. Lavin presented U.S. companies,
FETCO and URNEX BRANDS, INC. with the
Export Achievement Certificate. This award recognizes
small and medium-sized U.S. companies that have either
successfully entered the international marketplace
for the first time or have ventured into a new market.
On April 20, 2004, the awards were given out at the
breakfast briefing for U.S. exhibitors at Food &
Hotel Asia 2004. Fetco is a manufacturer of high quality
brewing equipment used in hotels, corporate dining
outlets, coffee and convenience stores, while Urnex
Brands, Inc. manufactures high quality coffee and
espresso equipment cleaning products. Both companies
have worked with the U.S Commercial Service in the
past and had previously used Food & Hotel Asia
2002 as their launching pad into the fast-growing
Asian region. Food & Hotel Asia is recognized
as the premier food and hotel show in Asia.
