Transfer Point
Transfer Point, based in Columbia, South Carolina, is a woman-owned small company that manufactures dietary supplements, specializing in a very high quality, pure form of Beta-1, 3D Glucan. Thanks to exports, which last year led roughly to one third of total sales, Transfer Point was able to successfully weather the 2008 global financial crisis and even increase sales.
Transfer Point exports to markets in North America, Asia, and Europe. Three of its top markets are current FTA partners and 6 are prospective FTA partners. Transfer Point CEO Marilyn Becker emphatically asserts that expanding FTA partners through TPP and T-TIP could help Transfer Point tackle regulatory barriers and would eliminate tariffs on its products, thus enabling the company to continue to succeed and expand abroad.
