The total assets of our company is valued at 60 million yuan, and the annual volume of our import and export is USD350 million, including USD220 million of export. Our company has been a Fortune 500 company among national import and export enterprises for many years. Furthermore, we also have been a fortune 50 company in Tianjin’s import and export enterprises for many years.

In 2003,our company obtained the ISO9001 quality certification. In 2004,,with the help of a service provider, we developed a foreign trade system – ERP, and successfully applied it in our existing managerment system. Recently, we set up our website to promote our products broadly and deeply to grasp more business opportunities. The interface of our website is developed from a buyer’s perspective, catering the customer’s need and habit. Now we have one integrated website (www.ttgie.com) and five vertical ones, covering products like luggages & bags, bicycles, shoes, sweaters and yarn.

We have cooperated with Alibaba.com for five years. During these years, e-commerce has changed our unitary and traditional trading method. Our trade volume increases each year and benifits us a lot. In our company, there are 40 salesmen, a lot of which are very green. The one who got the first order on Alibaba.com is a fresh graduate with just one year of work experience. Online promotion channels are evolving with the times. Alibaba.com also offers professional lectures to our company monthly, which greatly improve our e-commerce skill and technique. Through unremitting cooperation with Alibaba.com,our company’s online trade volume increased from over USD100,000 in the beginning to several million US dollars today.

We firmly believe that with the constant improvement of e-commerce technology and regulations , online trade will continue to flourish. We are sure that Alibaba.com will offer us more and more potential customers. Best wishes to Alibaba.com.
