I travelled with Steve and his team in 2016. I considered it my 'China 101'. Now with the confidence and knowledge they gave me I am able to travel and source with confidence. The results far exceeded my expectations.

Symo Global has been amazing. With their help I was able to reduce our COGS by more than half on some of my main products. All in all, the team helped me save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
