ROWLAND HEIGHTS, Calif. (January 15, 2018) – Representative (Rep.) Ed Royce (R–CA) and the U.S. Commercial Service honored Astrophysics, Inc. on Friday with an Export Achievement Certificate, recognizing the company’s success exporting over $1 million of security products and its positive impact on the local economy.

Rep. Ed Royce highlighted the importance of expanding American exports to markets around the world. He also commended the U.S. Commercial Service and the event’s host, the District Export Council of Southern California (DECSC), for their continued efforts to promote and aid U.S. export growth.

It is a testament to our company’s dedication to deliver high-tech, American-made security scanners to customers across the globe. We are also grateful for our relationship with the U.S. Commercial Service, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with the Commercial Service to increase our exports around the world.”
