Did you know?

  • The EU and the U.S. account for the largest bilateral trade relationship in the world.
  • Between 2005 and 2008, 29 percent of the growth in U.S. exports was to Europe -- more than to Asia-Pacific, Canada and Mexico, or South and Central America.
  • In 2007, exports from the U.S. to the EU exceeded those to China by six times.
  • If you export to Canada, you can export to Europe.
  • With the realignment of the Dollar to the Euro and high cost of shipping from Asia, U.S. products have become very competitive.
  • Some key opportunities include the automotive, construction, chemicals, defense, electrical power systems, environment, biomedical, IT, security and telecommunications sectors and the manufacturing sectors that support these and other industries.

Here is what a manufacturer just like you had to say!

“Our exports to Europe continue to grow and expansion plans are on the horizon.  The key to our success in Europe was to become involved in the business culture and industry.  With the help of the U.S. Commercial Service, you can move directly into foreign markets with the proper inside information and confidence.”
