Enter Overseas Markets

USTDA funds activities designed to highlight U.S. solutions to overseas development priorities. In this process, USTDA assists many U.S. firms in their efforts to enter overseas markets.

          This issue features an interview with Musya Tumanyan, Vice President of Hoffman International, Inc., a small U.S. company based in Piscataway, New Jersey. Following a USTDA-funded feasibility study, Hoffman entered into a joint venture with a private Russian firm, Rosremdormash, to supply modern construction and road building equipment on a leased basis to firms in Russia.

          To date, this project has produced $15 million in U.S. exports and has had a positive developmental impact on Russia. The success of the project, and many others like it, is due not just to the dedication of the host country project sponsor, but also to the commitment of a U.S. firm to navigate the challenges of a difficult overseas market.  Update: Ms. Tumanyan, how did Hoffman become involved in the leasing venture in Russia?
