Industrial Website Helps Illinois Manufacturers do Business with European Companies
Chicago, IL, July 17, 2008 --(
PR.com)-- The on-line industrial trade portal Buy American, a division of the Industrial Leaders Group (ILG) at http://www.IndustrialLeaders.com/reviews, announced today it plans to focus on promoting Illinois-based manufacturers of industrial supplies, machines and manufacturing equipment throughout Europe. According to Larry Morgan, spokesman for the company, Buy American will feature a number of selected Illinois manufacturers throughout the ILG network consisting of industrial directories, international trade forums, B2B blogs and on-line industrial marketplaces.
Morgan said Illinois manufacturers seeking to enter or expand in national or international markets are able to include their company on the site along with other U.S. industrial suppliers and exporters at http://www.worldwideindustrialmarketplace.com/freelisting.html. Currently, the site includes offerings from dozens of manufacturers in Illinois in or around Chicago, Naperville, Springfield, Waukegan, Rockford, Elgin, Cicero, Aurora, Joliet, Peoria and other cities and counties throughout the State.
"Illinois is one of the leading industrial and technology markets in the United States with its share of world-class manufacturers serving the American and international industrial community," said Morgan. He went on to say, "The plan of Buy American over the next few months is to focus on helping Illinois manufacturers expand into overseas markets by connecting them with engineers and other industrial and technical buyers in Europe with emphasis on United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and other European Union (EU) countries."
Morgan said Buy American is one of the more popular sites within the Industrial Leaders Group. He explained the site's purpose is not to limit or restrict trade but rather encourage business partnerships between U.S. and international companies. "International trade is vital to a country's economy and competitiveness in the global arena," said Conrad Bailey, Business Director of the company. He added, "Buy American is not about limiting purchases to only US-made goods but rather, buying such products based on their quality and all-around value. America still produces some of the highest quality products in the world in a number of industries and many of those manufacturers are in Illinois."
