Have you heard any type of warning system lately?  Chris Roller and Tracy Anderson from American Signal Corporation will provide us with useful information on how this Milwaukee-based company, established in 1942, expanded into international sales. The focus for this program will be on the challenges they have faced, from the sales and credit perspective, as well as the network of agencies and companies they depend on to make their projects go smoothly. They will describe how their products are used internationally, with a focus on their Tsunami Solution project in Sri Lanka, a country not often considered an export prospect.  In 2007, American Signal was named Exporter of the Year by Commercial News USA.
