Outstanding! This is great. It is an example of information a small company like mine could not get on our own. But, will help us get orders that we will manufacture in Alabama. I like it when a plan comes together. Thank you for the format and the information.

The information is presently being worked via various letters to the agents, distributors and manufacturers included in the extensive list you provided. Additionally, the European and Latin American divisions are working as well on the project.
