ABOUT US
Inside China’s Hidden Supply Chain – Where Only Our Team Can Go
At Dracon International, our strength lies in deep supply chain penetration far beyond the reach of Alibaba listings and crowded trade fairs. We bypass middlemen, agents, and showroom theatrics to access the true backbone of China’s manufacturing economy — the domestic market where the real OEM suppliers operate. These are the large-scale producers behind global brands, the ones who don’t advertise online or attend expos because they don’t need to. Through trusted networks, factory audits, and on-the-ground sourcing teams, we reach the manufacturers that others can’t — delivering unmatched value, quality, and transparency to our clients.
Your Trusted Gateway to Direct China Source
At Dracon International Trading, we bridge the gap between global markets and China's manufacturing capabilities. Based in Hong Kong and Guangzhou with operations spanning New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, we deliver premium sourcing solutions that transform how businesses access the world's manufacturing powerhouse.
Our Mission
To empower businesses with direct access to Chinese manufacturing excellence while eliminating risks, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance with international standards.
The Meaning Behind Our Logo
The Dracon logo represents strength, guardianship, and control. Inspired by both the dragon of Asia and the taniwha of Māori tradition, it reflects our role as a trusted protector in the global supply chain. Bold, precise, and culturally grounded, the logo embodies our commitment to navigating complexity, reducing risk, and delivering with discipline. See More
Dracon is not just a brand—it’s a guardian of your investment, built to lead where others can't
Our Story
Founded on the principle that sourcing from China shouldn't be complicated or risky, Dracon International Trading has evolved into a comprehensive procurement partner for businesses across Oceania and beyond. Our journey began with a simple observation: too many companies were paying premium prices for Chinese-manufactured products due to multiple intermediaries in the supply chain.
Today, we maintain offices in Hong Kong and mainland China, with an expert team that navigates the complexities of international sourcing on behalf of our clients. Our deep connections within China's domestic manufacturing landscape allow us to go beyond traditional platforms like Alibaba or trade shows, accessing quality suppliers that remain invisible to most foreign buyers.
