Camas entrepreneur named small biz Exporter of the Year
The U.S. Small Business Administration named Leonard Felix, president of Camas-based CID Bio-Science, Inc., as 2010 Washington State Small Business Exporter of the Year at a celebration April 8 at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in Seattle.
Raised among two generations of self-starters in Long Island, N.Y, Felix purchased a 50 percent share of CID in 2007, taking over the agricultural and environmental research company's operations. His goals were to refine the company's accounting and operating procedures, eliminate order backlogs and shipping delays, develop a U.S. sales distribution company and expand solid international distributors beyond China and India.
SBA programs aided Felix by evaluating potential business ventures and identifying funding sources. With a fresh set of eyes and ideas, within 18 months Felix injected new power into the company's market presence and launched two new products.
