Winter Park, FL--RSR Group, Inc. is proud to announce that it has received a Certificate of Appreciation for Achievement in Trade from the US Commercial Service. "We are living the American Dream" said Bob Steger, President and CEO of RSR Group, upon being awarded the U.S. Department of Commerce's Certificate of Appreciation for Achievement in Trade at IWA 2007, Germany's 34th annual International Trade Fair for Hunting and Sporting Arms, Outdoor Articles and Accessories.
U.S. Commercial Service Germany's sports shooting trade specialist Bernd Kietz met RSR Group over 20 years ago at the Shot Show in Las Vegas. Kietz and his delegation of German buyers were impressed with RSR's business model, and shortly thereafter, Kietz encouraged Steger to pursue additional international partnering opportunities by exhibiting at the USA Pavilion at the IWA Show in Nuremberg. Today, after exhibiting at IWA for nearly 20 years, RSR has established a well-known, go-to resource for hunting and sports shooting retailers not only in Europe but across the globe.
"The U.S. Commercial Service has played an invaluable role in helping our company sell internationally, saving us valuable time and resources," Steger said. "The counseling and marketing support at trade shows such as IWA have put us in touch with targeted buyers and we've found that Commercial Service involvement brings an added degree of credibility to the process in the eyes of potential buyers. Looking back, we know that it would have been much more difficult to have reached this level of export success if we had tried to do this all on our own."
"More than 70 percent of the world's purchasing power is beyond U.S. borders, and to stay competitive, companies must think globally," U.S. Minister-Counselor for Commercial Affairs George Ruffner said. "RSR is an excellent example of how American firms are working to increase their bottom line by making new sales abroad."
