The New Jersey District Export Council is proud to recognize excellence among New Jersey’s leading exporters in the four categories of Exporter of the Year, Service Exporter, New Exporter and Minority Owned/Diverse Exporter.

The goal of the New Jersey International Trade Awards is to recognize New Jersey companies that have worked diligently to expand their exporting efforts. They may have accomplished this by penetrating new markets or by increasing their presence in existing markets — or embracing both growth strategies! By doing so, they have contributed to the creation of new jobs while subsequently improving and enhancing the New Jersey economic landscape.
