1. How important is the U.S. in your company’s strategy?

It is important for KAMAX to grow in the US to sell our k-probe device. We consider entering the US markets as important as our market in France.

2. What advantages do you see in Chicago?

The advantage of working with FB International, which is based in Chicago, is that it is the ideal connection to start entering identified markets or new potential markets. FB International is the ideal partner because of their knowledge of the American market and ability to find the right contacts – whether as potential clients or suppliers.

3. What are the biggest challenges in your company’s development in the U.S.?

The development of other industry sectors, such as mining, is a big challenge. FB International has helped us expand into those areas.

4. What piece of advice would you give to other companies coming to the U.S.?

Companies should seize the opportunity to work on development in a market that moves much faster than France.
