About SourceToGulf — 14 Years China Sourcing for the Gulf

Our story: 36 years in China trade

Before SourceToGulf, our team ran 4Kids Company Manufacturing Ltd — a Hong Kong trading house founded on a US trading company from 1990. Retail giants trusted it with their shelves. The same team now runs the same supply chain for the Gulf.

1990

Royal Palm International founded in Florida — importing Chinese goods for US factories, farms and retail chains.

1998

Own processing plants set up in Shenzhen, Fuzhou and Qingdao.

2004

4Kids Company Manufacturing Ltd registered in Hong Kong — supplying Walmart and Carrefour.

2005

Named Walmart Global Best Supplier.

2017–18

Michaels — the largest craft retailer in the US — runs a series of purchase orders: 27,000+ pcs of craft foam, FOB Fuzhou to Seattle, customs-approved.

Now

SourceToGulf: the same multi-supplier quality control, pointed at the Gulf.

Our story

14 Years in Dubai — Photos, Not Promises
