Our story
In 2014, we founded UCHINA in Guangzhou, the wholesale capital of South China. We worked in many different markets, from running music events, creating a shoe brand, starting a logistics business, to exporting mining equipment. We learnt the Chinese way of doing business first hand, and became familiar with the Chinese culture.
Our core business revolves around trading and manufacturing. We have dealt with cosmetics, glasses, POS systems, clothing, raw materials, LED lighting, and many other industries. As our focus shifted to electronics and technology, we moved our base of operations to Shenzhen, the hardware capital of the world.
