WHO IS BASSETTS' BIGGEST CUSTOMER?
Rosemary Connors of NBC10 reveals the answer in this news story covering the world famous ice cream maker's global success and the role of World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia in helping Bassetts and other local companies go global. On the heels of this week’s successful launch of the Greater Philadelphia Export Plan, World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia (WTCGP) is delighted to share two articles detailing the plan and the WTCGP’s partnership with the Economy League and the region’s international business community in the plan’s development – and future implementation. These articles – from the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Business Journal – may be found at the links below. They tell a compelling story about the importance of exports to the growth of this region’s economy and to job creation, key factors in expanding economic opportunity within our communities. We are proud that the many companies with whom we work were featured in the launch and the media coverage that followed. In the process, all of us involved in growing our businesses and the region through global trade stand to benefit, as we strengthen public recognition of exports as a key economic driver for the region. WTCGP is honored to have played a role in the plan’s development. We look forward to working with our members, corporate partners and the Region’s broader international business community as we put the plan in action – a great, pro-growth opportunity for our region! Linda Mysliwy Conlin President, World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia
