Carver International, Inc., along with 56 other U.S. companies and organizations that export goods or services, was honored by U.S. Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank at the 2013 President’s “E” Awards ceremony. The award, which recognizes significant contributions to increasing American exports, was presented to Gary Carver, president of Carver International, during a May meeting at the Manufacturer & Business Association.
“These companies truly represent the spirit of American business and entrepreneurship — bringing some of the best and most innovative products and services to the global marketplace with the sought after ‘Made in the USA’ label,” said Acting Secretary Blank. “Exports continue to be the engine of our economy, supporting nearly 10 million good, high-wage jobs in cities and communities across the country.”
The President’s “E” Award was created by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, and more than 2,500 firms have been recognized since the program’s inception.
Based in Erie, Carver International is an international freight forwarder providing export services — including ocean and air freight shipments, complete export documentation, express shipping programs, and marine insurance coverage, among others — from the United States.
