Participant Success

View All

Without WUSATA's Branded program we wouldn't have been unable to afford international travel and participation in key trade shows that have contributed to their expansion into new markets and the subsequent increase in sales.

FundMatch

WUSATA brings buyers straight to us. Even if the buyer you’re talking to isn’t necessarily looking at beverages, they might be able to connect you with the person who is. That’s what I love about WUSATA.

Global Connect

Over the past year, Pacific Seafood has participated in more than five trade missions and hosted several groups for tours of its facilities. These opportunities have been invaluable in showcasing its operations and forging new business connections.
