Champion Oil, a worldwide recognized industry leader in lubricants, additives, chemicals and motor oils for over 58 years, was recently presented the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Achievement Certificate by the U.S. Commerce Department Under Secretary Chandra Brown, the U.S. Commercial International Trade Administration’s Sally Pacheco, and the Specialty Equipment Market Association’s Director of International and Government Relations Linda Spencer.

Clinton, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/04/2014 --The Export Achievement Certificate recognizes medium-size U.S.-based companies that have successfully entered the International marketplace. The presentation was held at an International reception during the Specialty Equipment Market Association's trade show in Las Vegas.

"We are greatly honored to have been recognized with this prestigious award," said Karl Dedolph, Director of International Sales. "Champion's top-tier products are only the starting point. The recognition really belongs to our management team that supported our global goals and provided outstanding contributions to our export programs. Logistics, marketing, technical, and manufacturing were also on board and devoted a lot of time and energy in providing changes to procedures, artwork, formulations, and assignments that had to be created for the business nuances specific to export."

In order to qualify for the Export Achievement Certificate, the nominee must be a U.S. company or institution that demonstrates success in export—either exporting for the first time or entering a new market.

Dedolph added, "Our International trade and exporting initiative has to first identify potential partners that understand our product offerings and have the ability to provide their customers first class service, support and distribution. Our partner in China, Guangzhou Aisheng Trading Co. Ltd, is a good example of a Master Warehouse Distributor that clearly fits the stringent criteria we have identified to disseminate our motor oil, chemical, additive and lubricant line in numerous provinces, demographics, applications, and strategic markets."
