BOISE, IDAHO—May 6, 2011

 

Preco Electronics, Inc. Honored with Export Achievement Award

 

 

The U.S. Department of Commerce awarded Boise-based Preco Electronics, Inc., with the Export Achievement Award for Idaho.

 

As the maker of the PreView Radar blind spot awareness systems for heavy equipment, Preco has produced a remarkable increase in exports during the trying market conditions of the past several years. This award—given to only three businesses in Idaho—honors companies with successful export products and a strong commitment to best practices in international trade.

 

“We are tremendously proud to receive this honor,” said Teresa Prisbrey, Director of Marketing for Preco. “In this global arena, our customers span all continents. It is imperative that we offer an export model that will support them regardless of where they are doing business in the world.”

 

Preco was founded in 1947 to offer effective industrial-grade safety products to industries ranging from construction and utilities to mining and transportation. As a leader in heavy equipment safety, Preco’s PreView Radar systems can be found on equipment on all seven continents. PreView Radar uses pulsed radar to notify equipment operators of people or objects in their blind spot. It functions reliably in all weather conditions, making it ideal for the rough working conditions found in many industries.

 

The Department of Commerce helps American companies develop international business relationships. Preco Vice President of Safety Products Dale Hessing said, “the U.S. Commerce Department has been invaluable in helping us locate international dealers and partners who can install, support and service our products and they have helped us identify the right partners in overseas markets.”

 

Exports of PreView Radar products continue to increase annually as international industries put greater emphasis on protecting human life and property. As the focus on keeping workers safe grows across the globe, Prisbrey said, “We’ll continue to grow the export side of our business.”
