Label Vision Systems, Inc (LVS), of Peachtree City, Ga., won the annual Georgia European Union Summit (AGEUS) sponsored Georgia Featured Export Product Award for small and medium size companies. LVS won the Gold Award for 2007, the top award for the year. The award was presented to LVS by Heidi Green, Deputy Commissioner, Global Commerce Division of the Georgia Department of Economic Development.

The Georgia Featured Export Award was created by AGEUS in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) to recognize small and medium size Georgia companies that export unique products produced in Georgia. AGEUS and the GDEcD determined there was no proper cognition of this important area and felt it was time to highlight these efforts.

LVS developed an export strategy in 2004 and now exports to over 17 countries with a distribution network established in ten European countries, Japan and China. Export growth has been extraordinary, with export sales now equal to 39 percent of total sales. All of this has been accomplished within three years and a staff of 13 employees.

Tim Lydell, CEO of LVS, gives credit to the employees of the LVS for their dedicated efforts in dealing with the difficult task of such an achievement.

“The language translation is only one aspect of foreign trade. There is the need to consider local government product regulations, import and export regulations, translation of manuals and software, local business customs and traditions, product support and training, and of course getting paid for the goods,” said Lydell. “The LVS employees have met all of these challenges.”

LVS manufactures and sells print quality inspection systems for off-line and on-line use on printing lines to inspect the quality of print at line speed. LVS products are unique in the world as they inspect variable printed data and inspect bar codes to guidelines established by the International Standards Organization (ISO). LVS is the only company that can do this type of inspection at the high speed demanded by printers. To learn more about LVS visit www.lvs-inc.com.
