Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce James C. Leonard III recently presented an Export
Achievement Award to Tuscarora Yarns Inc., Mount Pleasant, N.C. The award, given to Martin B. Foil,
chairman, recognizes Tuscarora’s significant contribution to increasing export sales.
“Exports have continued to increase for our company and have significantly contributed to our
success,” Foil said in accepting the award. “This is a difficult period for the [US] textile
industry, but with global awareness and expansion of exports in the Americas, we can hopefully
survive the storm.”
Peter J. Hegarty, president, added, “A significant indication of Tuscaroras dedication to
international trade is its website that is available in four languages English, Spanish, Korean and
Chinese.”
