President’s Award for Excellence in Exporting
Midmark Corporation is the proud recipient of the prestigious "Excellence in Exporting" Award. Adapted from
the World War II "E" pennants symbolizing patriotism in action, the "E" Award Program was created by
President John F. Kennedy in 1961 as the nation’s highest award to honor U.S. manufacturers and organizations
who demonstrate superior performance in increasing and promoting exports.
To qualify for an "E" Award, a manufacturer must show evidence of a substantial increase in volume of
exports over a four year period. Exports should constitute a significant portion of total product sales
and/or be materially in excess of the industry’s average percentage. The company also should demonstrate
breakthroughs in especially competitive markets, introduce a new product into U.S. export trade, or open a new market.
Midmark was presented with the "E" Award in Washington, D.C. in December of 1997.
