U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross presented Hydro-Thermal Corporation with the President’s “E” Star Award for Exports at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 21. The President’s “E” Star Award is the highest recognition any U.S. entity can receive for making ongoing significant contributions to the expansion of U.S. exports.
“Hydro-Thermal has demonstrated a sustained commitment to export expansion. The ‘E’ Awards Committee was very impressed with Hydro-Thermal’s record of export growth to new markets since receiving the President’s ‘E’ Award in 2014. The company’s innovative product development process resulting in customization of products for new industries and export markets was particularly notable. Hydro-Thermal’s achievements have undoubtedly contributed to national export expansion efforts that support the U.S. economy and create American jobs,” said Secretary Ross in his congratulatory letter to the company announcing its selection.
