Walton, KY – Mach III Clutch, Inc. joined Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, representatives of various state and local economic development offices, and the leaders of 10 other Kentucky businesses on a trade and investment mission to the United Kingdom during the week of May 11, 2014. The KEI delegation spent time in London and Manchester attending group meetings with UK business leaders and developers and individual meetings with current and potential clients.



Mach III was represented by Lesli Riehemann, its President and CEO. “Mach III’s export sales have doubled for the past three consecutive years and in 2013, the United Kingdom was our second highest export sale destination,” said Riehemann.
