International exports growth

Emergency escape equipment manufacturer Evac+Chair International has announced that its international exports are increasing year on year despite a struggling European economy. The business has consistently reported annual double-digit percentage growth since 2010, with the first quarter of 2012 also seeing a positive increase of 11%.

Since 2000, Evac+Chair International has seen its international exports double.

Head of marketing Paul Colder said: "The USA, the Middle East and Japan are strong markets for the company and even within a weakened Eurozone, European exports have remained positive." Paul added: "These figures reassuringly demonstrate that whilst organisations strive to cut costs elsewhere, the safe evacuation of the mobility-impaired from buildings remains a priority."
