Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. Receives Presidential Award for Exports

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2014) - U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker on May 28, 2014 presented Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. (OTCQB: PBSV) with the President's "E" Award for Exports at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. The "E" Awards are the highest recognition any U.S. entity may receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports.

"We are honored to receive the 'E' Award," said Ms. Elizabeth Plaza, Principal Executive Officer of Pharma-Bio Serv. "When we first began exporting in 2008, export services accounted for two percent of our total service revenue. During the past five years, export services grew to approximately eleven percent of our total service revenue, enabling us to sustain jobs and even expand our workforce."

"Pharma-Bio Serv has demonstrated a sustained commitment to export expansion. The 'E' Awards Committee was very impressed with Pharma-Bio Serv's work to expand into emerging markets. The company's dedication to growing the exporter base within its community, especially minority business, was also particularly impressive. Pharma-Bio Serv's achievements have undoubtedly contributed to national export expansion efforts that support the U.S. economy and create American jobs," said Secretary Pritzker in her congratulatory letter to the company announcing its selection as an award recipient.

U.S. exports of goods and services hit an all-time record of $2.3 trillion in 2013. Nationally, jobs supported by exports reached more than 11 million last year, up 1.6 million since 2009. Launched earlier this month, NEI/Next, a new phase of President Obama's National Export Initiative, works to boost economic growth and support additional American jobs by assisting more U.S. companies of all sizes in exporting to more markets across the globe.

President Kennedy revived the World War II "E" symbol of excellence to honor and provide recognition to America's exporters. The "E" Award Program was established by Executive Order 10978 on December 5, 1961. Four years of successive export growth and an applicant's demonstration of an innovative international marketing plan that led to the increase in exports is a significant factor in making the award.

U.S. companies are nominated for the "E" Award for Exports through the Department of Commerce's U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service office network, located within the Department's International Trade Administration, which has offices in 108 U.S. cities and more than 70 countries to help U.S. exporters.

A total of 66 U.S. companies were presented with the President's "E" Award this year.
