“We attribute Planson’s success almost exclusively to export sales. Planson’s global headquarters are in Maine and we intend to stay here. Since 2004, Planson’s annual export sales have grown from $5 million to $35 million. Our staff has grown from 5 to 35, and our payroll has increased to almost $2 million. We use local suppliers for a broad range of goods and services. The benefits of Planson’s export success extend far beyond our company bottom line.”
