About us
-
SM & PARTNERS (SMP) was found in 2002 from South Korea because we saw the needs of professional, hands on consulting service for Korean based supplies to help them expand their business overseas .
Up until now, many quality driven suppliers in Korea had difficulty interacting with overseas buyers due to language, lack of experience and information, vice versa.
The way Korean supplies handle their works are quite different from how we do in North America. This makes it difficult for both parties to do business.
Our mandate is to became a bridge between qualified suppliers and North America buyers to have a win-win business success.
