SnowPure Receives U.S. Presidential ‘E’ Award

SnowPure Water Technologies, which makes and sells industrial and medical water purification technologies, was presented the U.S. Presidential "E" Award. Created by executive order of the president, this award is the highest recognition any U.S. entity can receive for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports and is given to only a few select companies nationwide. President John F. Kennedy conceived the award in 1961.

SnowPure increased its exports from 80% to 95% from 2013 to 2016. Exporting began with three countries and has rapidly expanded with its technologies currently being sold into 57 countries. It is this recognition that led the U.S. Department of Commerce to award this prize.

It is expected that the Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, will give the award, and that Representative Darrell Issa will attend the ceremony.

Based in San Clemente, Calif., SnowPure makes and sells membrane-based purification technologies. These are used in various applications, such as pharmaceutical, hemodialysis, semiconductor and power generation industries. SnowPure products are a component of an ultrapure water system. 

"We are very grateful to the worldwide U.S. Commercial Service professionals who were instrumental in helping us to export so successfully," said Michael Snow, SnowPure president. "Exporting is our focus. So much of the developing industrial world looks for environmentally-friendly American-made technology."

Snow and Jennifer Nargizian, manager of customer service, were present in Washington to receive the award from Secretary Wilbur Ross.
