ArmorThane CEO Visits South America on Trade Mission
SPRINGFIELD, MO – Garry Froese, CEO of ArmorThane Inc., traveled with Missouri Governor Jay Nixon on a trade mission to Bogotá, Columbia and Lima, Peru. The delegation of state government and business leaders met with high-ranking officials and commerce leaders with a goal of increasing Missouri export opportunities.
ArmorThane was one of six participating businesses. While the company already exports internationally, including working with South America, Froese was interested in identifying new distribution opportunities for some or all of the company’s many polyurea and polyurethane spray-coating applications. Columbia was most interested in blast mitigation, mining and marine coatings. Peru tended to focus on mining and military/security applications.
