Cadden, specializing in electronic measuring systems for geopositioning and oceanography, is entering a new growth phase. The Nantes-based small business wants to earn 20% of its sales internationally within 2 years. To achieve this goal, a new “export” sales representative has joined the team. Until 2011, Cadden’s business outside France primarily involved leasing echosounders and sonars to the overseas territories. In 2011, the 22% jump in sales over 2010 was mainly due to an increase in exports, which grew six-fold.
