American Outdoor Brands
Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer

American Outdoor Brands is proud to partner with the Trulaske College of Business, and specifically the MU ITC, as it gives us exposure to a talented group of faculty and students that are helping us explore the expansion of our international footprint.  We were very impressed with the work that the ITC and its students have performed, mapping out countries, industries, and potential new customers.  As a publicly traded company headquartered in Columbia, we look forward to continuing to work with MU to help further develop our business and to keep talented graduates in the area.  We value this new partnership and the relationships we are building with MU, and we look forward to what the future will bring.

IFP Smart Fire Solutions
Jon Flamm, Chief Executive Officer

The information shared on each of the six countries reviewed was exactly on target with what SEVO IFP was looking for.  I applaud the research team for an amazing presentation.  The insight provided is exactly what we need.  The research completed hit on information we have been chasing after and will help us to connect the dots within the renewable energy industry sector that is of interest to us.  Beyond this presentation, kudos for the level of detail shared in the final report. There’s lots of valuable information for the company to absorb and utilize.  Working with the MU International Trade Center has been of extreme value for SEVO IFP.

Endovac Animal Health
Steve Knorr, President

Endovac Animal Health initially partnered with the MU International Trade Center in 2019 to complete an in-depth International market sector research report.  The final report shared has served as a road map for our International growth plans.  The resources, access to databases and statistics on international trade has been invaluable. I thought this would be the end of our relationship with the MU ITC, but it was really just the beginning.  We have hired two Interns out of the MU ITC to help in all aspects of our company.  MU ITC and the MU College of Business is developing a talent pipeline and providing Endovac with access to a ready supply of great student interns and potential future employees. MU ITC has also provided a level of connectivity with state and federal agencies and industry involved with International trade that has been vital to our growth.
