"Hytrol Conveyor Company's innovative business practices and exceptional customer service is one of the many reasons why the company continues to flourish," said Berry. "This award gives recognition to an outstanding company that not only sets the bar for other businesses, but demonstrates that Arkansas truly is a place where businesses can thrive. I congratulate Hytrol and its staff for this distinguished award."

 

This award is one of the most prestigious export achievement honors conferred on US companies. Created in 1961 by executive order of President John F. Kennedy, it was designed to give special recognition to those few outstanding companies and individuals who excelled in their effort to increase United States exports. The "E" Award, which stands for Excellence, Expansion, Effort and Exports, has, over the past three decades, come to symbolize the finest in American commerce and stands as a reminder of the ever increasing importance and value of participation in the global marketplace.
