Unit 5 Global Sourcing
Section 1 More Things to Do
There are many real-life stories from people who have found success on Alibaba.com. Devon Rifkin has become a symbol of online sourcing success for a Miami-based entrepreneur. When Devon Rifkin began scouring the globe for a low-cost but reliable producer of hangers for his fast-growing firm, the Great American Hanger Company, he began his search without stepping outside the comfort of his air-conditioned Miami office. A few clicks of the mouse on sourcing website Alibaba.com led him to Wooden Enterprises and Trading Cooperative, an India-based manufacturer specializing in wooden and metal products. After sending his company samples of a few basic hanger models, it responded promptly with mockups at attractive prices and quality. Wooden Enterprises and Trading Cooperative is now one of the Great American Hanger Co.’s regular suppliers.
