In presenting the awards to companies that have demonstrated superior performance in exporting and contributions to Ohio's economy, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland said, "Ohio is the eighth-largest exporting state in the country, a distinction largely due to economic partners like our 2008 Excellence in Exporting Winners. I want to thank all the companies for their hard work and commitment to success and their contributions to keeping Ohio's economy strong and competitive." Ohio Lt. Governor and director of the Ohio Department of Development Lee Fisher said “Ohio has a distinguished reputation for being a national leader in exporting. These winners today show the many opportunities businesses of all sizes and industries have to succeed in Ohio.” Since 1986 the Governor's Excellence in Exporting Awards program has recognized companies and organizations of all sizes that have shown superior performance in exporting or heightened awareness of exporting as a vital component of the state's economy.
