About

Ten years connecting factories and importers

Every deal starts with what the client needs. From there, we find the right factory, price and logistics.

Founded in 2016 by professionals with decades of experience exporting ceramic tiles, Mais Trading started out supporting one Brazilian manufacturer. Today it works across eight origins, with its own brands and teams in Brazil, the United States, China and India.
