Today, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-2), appeared at Sheffield Pharmaceuticalslaboratory in New London with Chief Operating OfficerJeff Davis, Vice President of Quality and Product Development Anthony Sollima, New London Mayor Michael Passero and U.S. Department of Commerce District Director Anne Evans to announce that the International Trade Administration has released 2016 Market Research reports to assist Connecticut manufacturers increase their international export business.

"Sheffield Pharmaceuticals is a great example of an eastern Connecticut company on the rise globally," said Courtney. "We know that more than 95% of the world's customers today live outside of the United States, and in order for our companies to keep pace around the world we need to be selling more of our products abroad. The U.S. Department of Commerce offers a wealth of information and resources for domestic companies that are looking to increase their international footprint. Since my office was able to connect Sheffield Pharmaceuticals with the U.S. Department of Commerce regional office for Connecticut last year, the company has been able to double total international exports and has gone from operating in 20 foreign markets up to nearly 60."
