May 23, 2008 - U.S. Embassy Minister-Counselor for Commercial Affairs Karen L. Zens presented the U.S. Commerce Department’s Certificate of Appreciation for Achievement in Trade award to Grupo Industrial SECNER, S.A. de C.V., a medium-sized, Mexico City-based oil and gas services firm. The award is presented to organizations that have partnered with the U.S. Commercial Service to promote U.S. export growth and trade in their home country. The award was presented during a brief ceremony in the U.S. Trade Center in Mexico City.

“The United States and Mexico do over one billion of dollars of business every day, and there’s no better time to recognize Grupo Industrial SECNER, S.A. de C.V. for its efforts in developing strong relationships with American firms in the energy sector,” said Zens. "I congratulate SECNER on their continued efforts in supporting expanded business ties between the United States and Mexico.”

With a network of offices across the United States and at U.S. embassies and consulates in 80 countries, including Mexican offices in Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mexico City, and Tijuana, the U.S. Commercial Service works to help partner U.S. firms with foreign buyers through counseling, trade events, and other matchmaking services. Mexican companies interested in sourcing U.S. goods and services can take advantage of these many programs. For more information, visit www.buyusa.gov/Mexico.
