GDEcD GLOBE Award winner Delta Sigma Co. earns 2019 Export Achievement Award

Advanced auto manufacturer Delta Sigma Company of Kennesaw, Georgia, has earned the 2019 Export Achievement Award from U.S. Commercial Service for exporting to 15 countries. The nearly 30-year-old company designs and builds systems to automate manufacturing and assembly tasks and has been exporting for more than five years. 

The award was presented by Joseph Semsar, acting under secretary for the U.S. Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration, who also toured Delta Sigma’s facilities during his visit to metro Atlanta on January 27-28.

In 2019, Delta Sigma also earned a GLOBE Award by the State of Georgia for entering a new global market this year. This year, 36 companies were honored for exporting to 90 new countries collectively. 

The 2019 GLOBE winners are located in 16 counties across the state with employment ranging from two to 500. Seventy-two percent of the 2019 GLOBE winners are small businesses with 100 employees or less. Forty-four percent of the winners employ a workforce of less than 20. Some of the more active markets included Mexico, Australia, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland. Three of the winners were first time exporters.

Roger Richardson, CEO of Delta Sigma, said in a statement, “We are a small company and have now brought millions of dollars into the U.S. economy. Since 2014, our export business has allowed us to increase our workforce by about 15 percent, and we expect that number will continue to grow.”
