PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

Intent on helping Montana businesses grow beyond the state’s borders, the Department of Commerce is offering grants to people who want to set up at out-of-state trade shows.

With funds provided by the last Legislature, the department is offering matching grants of as much as $3,000 to businesses attending a particular wholesale trade show for the first time.

"This started as part of the administration’s looking at the Made in Montana program from a more holistic approach," said Lonie Stimac, who oversees the pilot program. "We need to help all businesses, and help them market and become more savvy about how to get their products out there."
