CHARLESTON — Four companies from the region were among 33 in West Virginia recognized for expanding into new international markets at the annual Governor’s Export Awards ceremony held on July 31. They were: * Intercontinental Export-Import Inc., Wood County, a manufacturer of thermoplastic pellets. * JM Industrial LLC of Jackson County, a buyer and seller of surplus industrial process equipment for the chemical, plastics and mineral industries. * Marble King Inc., Tyler County, a maker of glass marbles for toys and industry. * Matheny Motors of Wood County, a supplier of heavy-duty truck and fire truck parts.

Exporting is a long game and every new market opened today paves the way for growth tomorrow.”Local News
