Jan 30, 2021

World Trade Center Delaware long-time member Batta Environmental Associates recently received the U.S. Commercial Services Extraordinary Exporter Award in recognition of its work on a U.S. government funded global project helping Mexico City find a solution to clean up one of its contaminated drinking water reservoirs.

Batta has been contracted under a U.S. Trade Development Agency grant for the “Ville Valle de Bravo” project which will explore ways to use U.S. technology and design to provide a path forward in securing funding to provide an environmental solution.

“We are so proud of Batta and wish to congratulate them on their award, it is well deserved,” World Trade Center Delaware President Carla Stone said. “They have been a valued member for many years, and we are all so pleased to have been a part of their growth.”

Headquartered in Newark, Delaware with several offices in the Mid-Atlantic, Batta provides environmental engineering products and services such as consulting, training and testing that help in purifying soil, water and air, aiding with environmental cleanup and removal of hazardous materials, oil spills, lead and asbestos contamination and much more. The firm works with federal, state and local governments as well as corporate companies.

Because Batta is expanding its services to international territories and developing countries that are looking for U.S. guidance in solving their environmental challenges, Neeraj Batta, Senior Vice President of the company, said membership in the state’s World Trade Center has been invaluable. “Our membership has really been a great benefit, opening doors to different networking events and allowing us to gain marketing intelligence through accessing Worth Trade Centers in other cities globally.”

Neeraj is a second-generation owner in the company, which was founded by his family 38 years ago. “International expansion has always been on our radar the past five to seven years,” he added. “Our goal is to continue to expand in this area; this is exactly the time and place to be to use our global partnerships and services to bring environmental solutions that are needed in the world.”
