Celebrating 20 Years of International Trade Success

The International Trade Center was founded in 1992 with the premise that our success is based on our clients success. Over the last 20 years, we have seen our clients grow and make the South-West Texas economy one of the strongest regional economies in the country. The annual trend is to see growth in our clients successes.

Each year we aim to be more productive and more effective than the last; the numbers indicate we have been able to achieve that goal consistently. See our results via the links below for more details. We are pleased that 2012 has been another record year for our clients. The work that we have together has helped to grow the economy of South-West Texas, and has had impacts on the national and global economy. In celebration of our 20th year in operation, we are releasing our results monthly, culminating in our 2012 annual report that will be released in the first quarter of 2013.
