In addition to being awarded a Governor’s Export Award, Lucigen was recently honored with the 2017 President’s “E” Award, the highest recognition honoring a U.S. entity for significant contributions to the expansion of U.S. exports.

“We are extremely honored to receive these distinct recognitions,” Lucigen President Jeff Williams said in a statement. “Lucigen is committed to export expansion, and we have made significant investments to support these efforts.”

According to a release, the committee was impressed with the company’s export growth over the past four years, which brings Wisconsin-made products to scientists around the globe, directly or through its network of 50 distributors.

The “E” Award has been presented annually since 1961.
