Trading Company
An intermediary company that resells goods from multiple factories with a commercial markup.
Term Definition
Trading companies often aggregate diverse product lines into a single catalog and accept smaller orders with lower MOQs. While their unit prices are typically 10–30% higher than direct factory rates, they offer convenience when procuring multiple disparate items in modest quantities.
Usage Example
«To purchase ten different souvenir items in small volumes, we sourced through a trading company in Yiwu.»
What we do
