In preparation for the show, a briefing/call on the Mexican water and environmental sector was provided to SJE Rhombus executives. During the show, SJE Rhombus company executives were introduced to Mexican potential buyers by Commercial Officer Marixell Garcia, Water Specialist Francisco Ceron, Environmental Commercial Specialist Claudia Salgado and Commercial Assistant Alejandra Calderon. There was a new connection made to a Mexican firm through involvement at the show, and sales have been steadily increasing to over $100,000 annually in Mexico with the involvement of in-country Regional Sales Manager Rodrigo Erazo.  

“We have worked with the US Commercial Service on several occasions utilizing their Matchmaking, Market Research, Webinars, and US Pavilion tradeshow services,” said SJE Rhombus VP of Sales Richard Rankka. “The support they offer is tremendous and I would encourage any company exploring new international markets to consider their services.”
