New Hampshire's Exports

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, August 23, 2007.

Over 2,000 Granite State companies export products and services to 166 countries. New Hampshire-made engine parts are being sold to Canada, wall coverings gracing hotel rooms in China came from a factory in North Walpole, while the woven labels found on the back of sweaters and shirts in the biggest European clothing stores were purchased from a weaving company in Pittsfield. Last year $2.8 billion were made in New Hampshire from the sale of exports and that number is growing. Today we explore our exports, where they are, what they’re making and what the state is doing to capitalize more on it.
