Combustion Associates
Combustion Associates, based in Corona, California, manufactures power generators.
The company has worked extensively with U.S. Commercial Service offices in Africa. Combustion Associates, recently built a small power plant in Benin and was praised by President Obama for bringing desperately needed electricity to some of the poorest parts of West Africa.
The company's President, Kusum Kavia, mentions that international sales have helped her business create many new high paying U.S. jobs in the engineering, manufacturing and electronics sectors. She highly recommends that other U.S. companies consider working with the U.S. Commercial Service to find local partners, as doing business is Africa is very different than in other parts of the world. The U.S. Commercial Service has been a valuable partner in helping her company understand and navigate several important emerging markets.
