SteelMaster awarded for global growth

By unanimous decision, SteelMaster Buildings was awarded the UPS “Growth through Global Trade Award” which recognizes the company as the top U.S. business with fewer than 500 employees that excels in international trade. SteelMaster Buildings is located in Virginia Beach, Va. and is a manufacturer, designer and supplier of arched steel structures.

A panel of experts reviewed and judged the many Growth through Global Trade award entries that it received since late August 2010 in search of the company that best exemplifies a business that excels at exporting. The criteria that determined the judges’ decision was based on growth of international sales and/or business operations; an entrepreneurial spirit and innovative pursuit of international growth opportunities; and ambitious plans to continue growing the company through exporting.

SteelMaster Buildings was a clear stand-out for the Growth through Global Trade Award,” says Dale Hayes, vice president, UPS small business and retail marketing. “SteelMaster understands the true economic impact of exporting and has smartly grown its business overseas through selling directly to customers and by developing a robust network of distributors.”

For 28 years, SteelMaster Buildings has manufactured, designed, and supplied pre-fabricated arched steel structures to more than 40,000 customers spanning 40 countries and seven continents. But it wasn’t until the past five years that the company began exploring opportunities to export its product internationally in earnest.
