Premium American wader and apparel brand Simms Fishing Products has been recognised with a special President’s E Award for exporting excellence.

The Bozeman, Montana-based firm is the first from the state to receive the award and was one of 123 other firms to be recognised at a special event in Washington DC on May 16th. US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker said: “Today, we honor companies like Simms Fishing Products – the first ever Montana company to receive an E Award.

“The recipients being honored today demonstrate the opportunity inherent in selling Made-in-America products to the broad customer base that exists outside our borders. Their success contributes to growth, job creation, competitiveness, and the success of the American economy.”

Simms international sales manager, Tim Malyurek, and senior director of employee and community engagement, Diane Bristol collected the ward, with Diane stating: “Over the last 25 plus years, we have made a concerted effort to find the best partners to help us build our brand internationally. We have a deep appreciation for the relationships we’ve built and the efforts they’ve made to represent us.”
