About Simon Trading Firms
Founded 22 years ago, Simon Trading Firms has grown into a trusted international trading and logistics partner, with a strong presence in Dubai — our home base for over two decades — and in China, where we have operated for the past 9 years.
We specialize in connecting businesses across Africa with reliable suppliers and manufacturers in China, offering end-to-end trading solutions that simplify international sourcing and logistics. From clearing and shipping to sourcing and factory partnerships, we handle every step so our clients can trade with confidence.
With a dedicated office in China and an extensive network across Africa — including branches in Cameroon, Burundi, Benin, and Niger — Simon Trading Firms is strategically positioned to serve clients throughout the continent, and we continue to expand our reach across the rest of Africa.
We don't simply help you find products. We handle clearing, shipping, sourcing and factory partnerships so you can trade with confidence.
Our mission
Our mission is to make sourcing from China simple, secure and reliable — whether you are a first-time importer or an established business scaling your operations. We handle the sourcing, the factory relations, the shipping and the customs clearing, so you can focus on selling.
You focus on your business. We handle the rest.
Where we operate
