Goodway Technologies awarded 2022 State and Regional Exporter of the Year
The US Small Business Administration Connecticut District has announced Goodway Technologies as the Small Business Week 2022 Exporter of the Year for the New England Region and Connecticut.
This award honours the 55 plus years the company has been a leader in manufacturing and distributing innovative technology-driven maintenance cleaning and sanitation solutions around the globe.
For more than 50 years, the SBA has celebrated National Small Business Week, to recognise the contributions of America's entrepreneurs. Last month, SBA director Catherine Marx and Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons participated in a celebration at Goodway Technologies to honour the company for its contributions in increasing US exports. A formal award ceremony was held in New Haven, Connecticut, to honour the company and the other 2022 awardees.
"Tim Kane and Goodway Technologies were recognised by the Small Business Administration in Connecticut and New England Region as Exporter of the Year in testament to their long history of innovativeness in product, increased export sales, growth in employment and commitment to community," said Catherine Marx at the event. "Indeed, Goodway Technologies has become one of the leading manufacturers of industrial maintenance and sanitation solutions, and its commitment to environmental remediation positively impacts lives and improves public health outcomes globally."
Catherine recognised the company for its global growth, use of the SBA STEP grant program and the Paycheck Protection Program, noting that it is well positioned to export its industrial maintenance, sanitation and disinfection equipment to every single continent.
Tim Kane, President, and CEO of Goodway, said: "We are proud of our team's dedication to investing in our export sales, achieving sustainable growth and making innovative product design adjustments to meet the needs of the international marketplace.
"Our focus has always been providing high-quality, effective solutions to our HVAC and facility management customers and it's even more exciting to see the continued expansion of our products and technologies, like cleaning and sanitation solutions for food production companies, on a global level."
