Li & Fung Ltd
A global supply chain manager that connects thousands of factories with the world's biggest brands and retailers, handling everything from product design and sourcing to quality checks and shipping for goods like apparel, footwear, and toys. Founded in 1906 in Guangzhou by an English teacher, Fung Pak-liu, and a porcelain merchant, Li To-ming, its name simply joins the two founders' surnames — and the Chinese characters 利豐 also happen to mean "profit and abundance."
