Pennsylvania Industrial Exporters: International Trade Outlook For Pennsylvania
October 8th, 2008Manufacturers and Exporters In Pennsylvania
Considered one of the most important industrial states in the country, Pennsylvania has long been an area of significant industrial production, job creation and revenues for American companies. Often called the ‘Steel and Iron’ state, Pennsylvania, one of the country’s top ten exporters is home to a wide range of manufacturers, foundries, job shops and other companies involved in the industrial marketplace. No wonder its often called a ‘battleground’ state by politicians who understand that Pennsylvania is largely middleclass with a mostly blue collar workforce. We at Buy America have long been supporters of the American industrial workforce and we pursue that support not through lobbying, unions or other political pressures. But rather, by promoting U.S. manufacturers in overseas markets and making American companies more competitive. After all, that’s the free enterprise approach that has made this great country what it is today and although there have been some serious setbacks lately, Americans and American companies always find a way to prosper again.
Today, the focus is on Pennsylvania, an industrial state that deserves to be recognized for its value to the United States in the number of jobs it provides to its significant industrial production and export. Indeed, from its great cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Erie and Allentown to its smaller cities and town, Pennsylvania has long been one of America’s most important states from the Industrial Revolution to today. Thus, I welcome all Pennsylvania manufacturers and exporters of industrial products to read this item and take advantage of the information and resources I’m about to reveal to help your company increase its revenues, open new markets and hire more workers. Join other manufacturers and exporters in Pennsylvania that are using this site to enter or expand into overseas markets right now. Including companies in Reading, Altoona, Levittown, Lancaster, Bethlehem, Scranton and other cities all over the “Keystone State.”
Get Your Company Listed On The Web’s #1 On-line Industrial Marketplace
Pennsylvania industrial suppliers serious by increasing sales and developing trading partnerships in overseas markets should list their company on the Worldwide Industrial Marketplace. The site is by far the largest industrial-focused network on the Web consisting of over 100 leading industrial directories, portals, B2B forums, virtual trade shows, manufacturing marketplaces and even personal blogs like this one dedicated to promoting US goods in foreign markets. As a listed company on the Worldwide Industrial Marketplace, your products will get serious exposure in 54 countries and be presented in front of thousands of engineers, MRO professionals, factory managers and other industrial buyers. There is no charge to list your company on Worldwide Industrial and the site does offer upgrade options for those interested in increasing their exposure further. Although Worldwide Industrial does not sell text links, it does offer banner advertising opportunities on 64 of its industrial-focused directories.
It’s important to clarify that although Worldwide Industrial can generate excellent exposure for Pennsylvania manufacturers and exposures of industrial supplies, equipment, machinery and services. However, in order to get the best possible exposure the key is to provide a unique and detailed description of your products, services and corporate capabilities. Do not merely just copy and paste a description about your company from another Web page as it will not get the ranking it needs in the major search engines due to duplicate content. The key is to write a detailed description that is 100% unique, content-rich and client centered. By doing so, chances are editors of Worldwide Industrial will notice the quality of your submission and feature your page along with your complete contact details, including a clean link to your Web site.

Products Being Exported From Pennsylvania
Are you interested in importing products from Pennsylvania? Do you want to do business with one of America’s largest industrial states with experienced, long time manufacturers and industrial suppliers? Here is my suggestion for the types of products you may want to purchase from Pennsylvania manufacturers and exporters. Indeed, Pennsylvania is commonly known as a major exporter of steel and iron produced in cities such as Pittsburgh and surrounding communities. However, the Keystone State is also a major exporter of diesel electric locomotives, forklifts, self-propelled work trucks, bituminous coal (not agglomerated), oil (not crude) from petrol and bitum mineral, medicaments and allied products. Other exports from Pennsylvania include a variety of industrial machines and equipment, raw materials, organic compound precision metals, airplane and helicopter parts, rolls for metal-rolling mills, power supplies, bars, rods & profiles of nickel alloys as well as various pharmaceuticals. Apparently although still heavily involved in the production of metals, Pennsylvania has a significant number of high-tech companies as well producing everything from electronic components to medical goods.
Pennsylvania’s Leading Trading Partners
As expected Canada and Mexico are currently Pennsylvania’s two largest trading partners in terms of the volume of products being exported out of the state. Of the two Canada leads significantly with about 30% of Pennsylvania’s goods being imported into the country. With Canada being a modern society with an infrastructure similar to the U.S. and construction projects constantly taking place, its not all that surprising to see them as Pennsylvania’s #1 trading partner. Mexico comes in second place as Pennsylvania trading partner, importing about 7% of their exports. It may surprise you that Pennsylvania’s 3rd largest trading partner last year was Belgium, importing about 5% of the state’s recorded exports. The following countries each have imported approximately 4% of Pennsylvania’s exports: United Kingdom,. Germany, China and Japan. Other markets such as Netherlands, Brazil, South Korea and Australia each have imported around 2% of Pennsylvania’s exports. Pennsylvania has also traded with a number of other countries, but on a lesser scale, such as France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, Israel, Malaysia, Switzerland, Chile, Saudi Arabia, India and Taiwan.
