On Monday, September 10th, Eastman welcomed the World Trade Center Buffalo Niagara into its facility for a public announcement. The World Trade Center announced a $50,000 trade consulting program aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses boost their export sales.

Eastman, which exports its fabric-cutting equipment worldwide, represented a small business in Buffalo which has successfully sold equipment to other nations for many decades.

State Sen. Mary Lou Rath and Assemblyman Robin Schimminger were in attendance, as well as several World Trade Center representatives and Eastman President Robert L. Stevenson.
