The name behind the leaf

Resilience, longevity, and a bridge between worlds.

The ginkgo is one of the oldest living tree species on Earth — native to China, thriving everywhere it's planted. It stands for endurance, trust, and growth that lasts. That's exactly how we approach sourcing.

We're a small bilingual team living in Jiangsu province, China — visiting factories, checking samples in person, and speaking to suppliers in their own language, so South African businesses never have to buy blind.

How it works

From idea to your doorstep — in four steps.

01

Tell us what you need

Send your product brief — specs, quantity, target price. No idea is too small or too niche.

02

We vet the factories

We shortlist legitimate suppliers, negotiate in Mandarin, and confirm real factory-gate pricing.

03

Samples & inspection

We check samples in hand before you commit, and inspect goods before anything ships.

04

Delivered to South Africa

Consolidated air freight, customs cleared, door-to-door — with last-mile delivery nationwide.

What we source

If a factory in China makes it, we can find it.

Custom & branded goods

Scarves, apparel, promotional products, packaging — made to your design and spec.

Retail & e-commerce stock

Trending products and proven sellers, sourced at prices that protect your margin.

Tools, parts & hardware

Industrial components, equipment, and consumables — with specs verified before shipping.

Home, gifting & lifestyle

Homeware, gadgets, and giftable products that stand out on South African shelves.

Electronics & accessories

Phone accessories, smart devices, and consumer tech from established manufacturers.

Something else entirely

Not on the list? That's our favourite kind of brief. Tell us what you're after.

Why Gingko

The edge beyond the search bar.

Anyone can browse a marketplace and request quotes. The real difference is knowing which supplier is legitimate, what a fair price actually is, and having someone there when it matters.

Actually on the ground

We live and work in Jiangsu — China's manufacturing heartland. Factory visits and in-hand sample checks, not video calls.

Negotiated in Mandarin

Real conversations with suppliers in their own language — better prices, fewer misunderstandings, no middle-agent markup games.

Transparent pricing

You see the factory price, the freight, and our fee — line by line, in Rand. No hidden costs, ever.
