LORETTO —
United Metal Fabricators Inc. has been named Small Business Exporter of the Year by the St. Francis University Small Business Development Center.
The award recognizes the achievements of the Southern Alleghenies Region’s most successful entrepreneurs.
“International sales have been a key to UMF’s success,” said Eileen Melvin, CEO. “Over the past year, UMF’s sales in the Middle East have grown significantly, despite a more challenging time for domestic sales.”
The company manufactures equipment for hospitals, physician offices and clinics worldwide. UMF’s product line includes power procedure tables, exam tables and chairs, instrument carts and stainless steel equipment.
The family-owned UMF has been a local employer since 1955. The company employs 60 workers in its Richland plant.
UMF will be honored at the 2010 Small Business Awards luncheon at noon June 9 in the JFK Student Union on the campus.
