Ohio Company Named ‘Exporter of the Year’ in the Medical/Scientific Products Industry Category by U.S. Export Promotion Magazine

March 3, 2011 – Codonics Inc. has received a 2011 Exporter of the Year award from ThinkGlobal Inc., publisher of Commercial News USA, the official export promotion magazine of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Commercial News USA is a catalog-style magazine that reaches more than a quarter-million readers in 176 countries worldwide. Awards were given to one U.S. company in each of 13 industry categories. Privately-held Codonics was named Exporter of the Year in the Medical Equipment category. All Exporter of the Year award winners will be profiled in the May-June 2011 issue of the magazine.

Headquartered in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, Codonics Inc. designs, manufactures, sells and supports medical imaging and information management devices. “Currently we have distributors in approximately 100 countries,” said Gary W. Enos, vice president of business and technology integration. “Exports account for over 70% of our sales, with shipments to Europe, Latin America, Australia, Japan, China, Taiwan, the Middle East, Russia, Mexico, Canada, Africa, and extensively through Asia.”

Criteria on which winners were selected included the total number of documented export transactions completed in 2009, the total percentage increase in sales in 2009 compared to 2008, exports as a percentage of total sales, the company’s commitment to exporting, the company’s commitment to customer service, and the company’s innovation and originality in marketing products or services. To be eligible for the award, a company must currently be exporting from the United States.

Gregory Sandler, publisher of Commercial News USA, said that the success of Codonics indicates clearly how American companies can benefit from exporting. “American companies that want to grow and to expand beyond their current trading areas need to consider opportunities outside of the U.S.,” said Sandler. “World markets offer real potential for U.S. exporters.”
