The Challenge

Power Technology, Inc. was a small laser manufacturer that only exported to a couple of companies. Leadership felt the company needed a purposeful, strategic plan to export their products to more countries, and, more importantly, to the right countries. For help they turned to AMS, part of the MEP National Network™.
ExporTech provided us a means to develop a practical and mature business plan that was peer-reviewed. This allowed us to fill any gaps in the plan.
— Walter Burgess, Co-CEO Sales & Engineering

The program combines group workshops with individual coaching for each company, leading to an export plan in just 10 weeks. The innovative, customized workshops help companies extract the specific information they need.
