IAPMO's CEO David Viola proudly accepts the prestigious President's E-Star Award from Deputy Assistant Secretary Kendee Yamaguchi at the Annual Inland Empire World Trade Conference. IAPMO’s work in promoting international product standards along with 3rd party testing, and certification removes technical barriers to trade and lowers the costs for industry. We are honored to be recognized with the highest recognition a U.S. entity can receive from the federal government for trade promotion.

IAPMO is proud to be awarded the President's 'E Star' Award! This is the second time IAPMO has been honored for excellence in boosting U.S. exports. From creating international plumbing standards to expanding quality product availability, IAPMO’s achievements support the U.S. economy and create American jobs. And thanks to our initiatives like the Indonesian Plumbing Manufacturing Coalition, we're not just supporting the U.S. economy, we're shaping a global future. Created by President Kennedy in 1961, the President’s “E” Award recognizes persons, firms, or organizations that contribute significantly in the effort to increase United States exports. IAPMO is incredibly proud to have been presented again with such a coveted award.
