Southwest Windpower, Inc. is a small business manufacturer of battery-charging wind-powered generators based in Flagstaff, Ariz. Southwest Windpower has used Ex-Im Bank's environmental export credit insurance since 1996 to sell its products to small foreign distributors in developing markets, including Brazil, Turkey, India, and South Africa. Ex-Im Bank's insurance enables the company to offer its foreign buyers open-account terms, which enables buyers to place larger orders. "The results have been tremendous," Andrew Kruse, vice president of Southwest Windpower said. "Last year, more than 50 percent of our revenues came from export sales. Our products are sold in more than 50 countries. Ex-Im Bank is a strategic partner in expanding our export sales."
