Mr. Peter Watson, International Business Development Manager of Armstrong Engineering Associates Inc., wrote about WTCGP's Ron Drozd's "invaluable" advice to Armstrong's President about Japanese business etiquette, language, etc. Mr. Peter Watson comments as follows: "WTCGP’s Ron Drozd met with Armstrong’s President, International Business Development and Business System managers in West Chester, PA prior to them visiting Tokyo.

Mr. Drozd’s advice on language, business card formats etc. proved invaluable and the Japanese were delighted by the visits.

We have significant business from JCG Houston valued over $ 1 million but believe face to face in-country meetings with specifiers, end users, and EPC contractors to be far the best way to cement relations with Japan and US subsidiaries. Further business is expected as a result of these contracts but the timing, as always with long lead items, is not determinable as we have “lead to sale” cycles of anywhere from 1 to 8 years. Our thanks again to Ron Drozd and the WTCGP!"
