Connections Fuel Dhiyohouse International Expansion

Dhiyohouse of Norton, Virginia, manufactures conveyor belts for the mining sector. In July 2021, the SBA Office of International Trade referred Dhiyohouse to the Virginia SBDC International Development Program for help exploring foreign markets. International Trade Manager Chris Van Orden and a student research team identified several potential markets. The SBDC helped Dhiyohouse receive $30,000 in grants from the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to support its trade program. The SBDC recommended the US Commercial Service for assistance in vetting foreign buyers. Project Manager Robert Leonard credits the SBDC for supporting Dhiyohouse's growth: "If you follow the SBDC's model, it'll produce international revenue and grow your business.”

Discovering SBDC has been like being a pirate discovering a treasure. My eyes have been opened to the world of export, and my fears that I cannot make this happen lessen each week. Having a great SBDC International Trade Consultant has been a blessing.
