For the first year of operations we only realized a turnover of  USD 190,000 and over the years we have been developing business relationships with other countries like Comoros Island, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Congo and South Africa . At some point we realized a turnover exceeding ten million USD .
We have been travelling extensively for both sourcing of goods and looking for potential clients.  Our suppliers are from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand ,India, Pakistan, Turkey, UAE and Mauritius.
We also participated in Buyers/Sellers meeting organized by the Economic Development Board and the East Africa International Trade Exhibition.
Among the international sourcing fairs we have attended over the years are – Canton Fair in China, Paper and Stationery Exhibition in Shanghai China, Paperex India, Gulf Food in Dubai, Anuga Fair in Cologne Germany, Electronics Fair in Hong Kong etc.
