Laser stripping systems manufacturer Laser Wise Solutions in Treforest, composite materials manufacturer Airbond in Pontypool, and surgical instruments developer OsteoPlus and advanced light and laser technology systems manufacturer Energist in Swansea, have all seen significant increases in their export business after receiving support from the Welsh government’s EU supported Export Assist programme.
Skates is now urging other companies in Wales that are looking to increase their overseas trade to get in touch.
He said: “Exporting really does have the potential to transform a business and take it to the next level. Companies such as Laser Wise Solutions, Osteoplus, Airbond and Energist are all great examples of just what can be achieved when companies looking to increase their exports have access to the right advice, guidance and support.
“And increasing the value of exports and the number of exporters in Wales is even more important than ever as the UK prepares to leave the EU. The Welsh government is keen to work with companies looking to build up the exports arm of their operations and offer them the right support for wherever they may be in their business development.
“I want to help them replicate the sort of increase in exports already experienced by companies like Laser Wise Solutions and would urge companies interested in growing their exports to get in touch for more information on the programme of tailored support on offer.”
