History
Greater China was founded in January of 1995 while founder Ben Zhang was still taking his last business course (Entrepreneurship, Business Policy 471) at the University of Washington. Starting with nothing more than a small number of Chinese manufactured items at a trade show in early 1996, Ben won the business of a major West Coast bank distributor for over a quarter million pieces on seven different items.
During Greater China's 15+ year history the company has weathered 2 recessions and continued to thrive amidst the current economic downturn as a leading supplier in the promotional and consumer product industries. The company attributes success and growth to a "customer first" philosophy; supportive of client needs while continually nurturing long term, win-win import partnerships.
Although we deliver product, Greater China is a service company. Our value is providing practical and creative solutions to client needs. This is evidenced by our innovative Import Buyer's Guide, 30-day product guarantee, product safety testing, CPSIA compliance leadership and logistical expertise. We strive to facilitate a positive, worry-free import "experience" with our every activity. Since 1995, Greater China has managed over 10,000 import projects. Our expertise in product sourcing, project management, testing and global logistics provides clients with unique items, accurate timelines, and great value!
