A different export strategy led to...
Another variation on the theme.
It is difficult to know what quality that this "輸出戦略の違い" has - is it "different" compared to the previous strategy of the same company or different compared to other rival companies? So there may be other appropriate terms depending on context, such as "a new strategy".
PS: I always prefer not to publish the company's real name (so "xxxx製作所" instead of "有沢製作所").

Other alternatives:
¥"a revised strategy¥" (in case the strategy is different from hitherto)
¥"a distinctive strategy¥" (if the strategy is different from other companies)

: Also, the original Japanese is pretty redundant, with 契機となったのは meaning basically the same thing as がきっかけ.

difference opened the door
"...a difference in export strategy opened the door for Yuzawa Industries'...". I would change the form a little " It was a different export strategy what..."
Something went wrong...
