One of the SMEs that secured an international buyer for export is CV Sabila Multi Kreasindo, a home decor and craft producer from Magelang, Central Java. CV Sabila Multi Kreasindo successfully received a home decor order of one 20-feet container to the United States.
"Thankyou LPEI for facilitating the Business Matching with a buyer from the United States, allowing our product to penetrate that market," said CEO of CV Sabila Multi Kreasindo, Syarif Ihsanuddin. Alongside CV Sabila Multi Kreasindo, Unikayo, an SME from Payakumbuh, West Sumatra, successfully pushed its rendang product to go global during the business matching organized by LPEI.

In the business matching, Unikayo received a Pre-Order (PO) for 20 kilograms of instant rendang seasoning (rendang paste) to New Zealand.
"We are grateful to have met LPEI, which can nurture and guide SMEs to export. I personally experienced what it's like to be mentored by experienced export practitioners, accompanied throughout the offering process with prospective buyers, and even helped to find other potential buyers," concluded Laurencia.
