TRG Will be Attending MSU Spring Career Fair

Montana State University, Bozeman hosts multiple career fairs for undergraduate students throughout the course of the academic year. This February, the 5th Annual “Almost” Spring Job and Internship Fair will be held in the Strand Union Building (SUB) Ballrooms on MSU’s campus. TRG, local business offering solutions to importers, will attend the event and meet with prospective interns to fulfill open part time sales positions. www.montana.edu

Local companies attending the career fair include, but are not limited to; Kraft Foods, Bresnan Communications, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Halliburton, Sherwin-Williams. MSU’s esteemed Engineering program has historically drawn a large number of firms from outside of Montana. TRG just recently moved its company headquarters to Bozeman, Montana after 18 years in Illinois. Operating out of the headquarters include the departments of TRG Bond, TRG Marine and TRG Direct. www.trgdirect.com

Along with the MSU Career fair, TRG has participated in other MSU events including the College of Business’ Management 475 class. TRG was able to work with business students throughout the course of a semester in development of a marketing plan. “Many of TRG’s employees are graduates of or currently enrolled at MSU. We are committed to giving back to the University by providing students with opportunities to develop a business acumen, ” stated Laura Michel, VP Operations. “We enjoy this youthful community and our ability to invest in its growth.

TRG’s website includes information on positions available within the firm. The company is looking to educate/train those with professional communication, influence/persuasion, attention to detail and computer experience. The job description in which the company is looking to fill at the MSU Career Fair will assist the Sales department with all aspects of Customs bond processing and customer service, and understanding of a sales position with the possibility of moving to a sales representative. www.trgbond.com

We have moved, officially!

After 18 years providing import solutions from Barrington, Illinois TRG has expanded to Bozeman, Montana. November 9th marked the official opening of the new office which will now serve as the company’s headquarters. All departments have been centralized to this location. In 2005 President and managing partner, John Michel, expanded to Montana in a smaller town South of Bozeman. After years of rapid growth the company found the need to increase staff and set its sites on Bozeman.

TRG’s business is focused on U.S. Customs bond, Marine Cargo Insurance and self-filing which some might say is an odd combination for sales out of Montana. However, the company’s direct marketing approach over the years has shown that sales, if done properly, can be accomplished from any remote location. TRG caters to importers of all sizes and all locations of the U.S. and Canada. Even though few customers are actually found in Montana, the company has been able to bring a wealth of education to the local U.S. importers. http://www.trgbond.com

TRG Bond, the division specializing in U.S. Customs bonds, has placed key staff members in Montana to help facilitate sales and customer service. “Having the ability to speak face to face with our Customs bond underwriters, Claims Department and sales executives has increased productivity and the effectiveness of internal communication.” Courtney Larson, Customs Bond Administrator comments about the move.

TRG Marine Insurance will soon follow suite as Sales, Marketing and Administration will be settled into the Montana office by the first of the year. “We are expecting TRG Marine Insurance to transition into a leading product role in 2010, as our ability to present a more cohesive sales approach improves.” Gregg Cummings, National Sales Manager said, “TRG Marine’s manager’s placement in the Bozeman office will play a vital role in the development of this product.”

The Illinois office will still play an important role for TRG Direct, the web-based system for entry filing and Importer Security Filing. Members of the accounting department and direct filing customer service remain in Barrington where they share an office with TRG’s sister company, Corporation for International Business. http://www.trgdirect.com
