Meet Global Design & Sourcing

 

While big corporations with all its resources are able to develop and source products anywhere in the world, many smaller companies are losing out on opportunities.  GDS was founded in 2010 by two partners to provide small businesses with similar capability to develop and source products globally but at a much more affordable cost.
