ABOUT US | WHO WE ARE

# We Grow Together.

## Our Presence

### International Reach

From the beginning our sourcing base has always been in East Asia, but over our long history we have expanded into new production markets in the region.

We also operate in India and Europe, and we have established a presence in Africa.

Otto International’s merchandisers are globally-connected: wherever you want your products made, we can help you.

- 20+ Global Locations
- 1,000+ Employees

## Our Story

Otto International belongs to the Otto Group, one of the world’s leading privately owned multi-channel retail groups. Servicing the complex processes specific to this business has always been what we do.

We stand out because of our roots, our culture and our tailor-made sourcing solutions.

## Our Growth

From our headquarters in Hong Kong, our presence has expanded across Europe, Asia, and Africa. During this expansion, we have developed partnerships with our joint ventures: Scan-Thor and OAGN. This has also led to the establishment of new product divisions within our portfolio. Our growth is a tribute to our quality of service and our employees, who have a superb working relationship with suppliers and clients alike.

It Starts with Me.
