PESCO and VIRGINIA TRANSFORMER CORP., two Roanoke Valley businesses, recently participated in the International Trade Fair Assistance Program in Guadalajara, Mexico, sponsored by Appalachian Power Company's parent, American Electric Power. They were among six companies selected because their products or services best match business opportunities available in that part of Mexico.

PESCO designs and builds modular liquid chemical recovery and recycling equipment, and Virginia Transformer manufactures electric power transformers, substations and voltage regulators.
