A&A was founded in 2001 with the sole objective of assisting a particular Mexican distributor of fashion accessories with sourcing and quality assurance activities. During the following few years, that distributor grew fourfold and A&A formally established itself, with a small office and a staff of 10, in the town of Shiling, Guangdong, which is known for hosting hundreds of fashion accessory manufacturers.

In 2008, the founders of the company realized that there was significant demand in Mexico for supply chain management in China, an area in which the A&A team were experts at that point. Pursuing that opportunity, A&A started selling supply chain management services to a few retail companies in Mexico. Since then, our staff has grown by an order of magnitude – currently we have over 120 people working tirelessly to continuously improve our customers’ supply chains. Our sales and client portfolio have grown accordingly.

Today, our headquarters in Guangzhou coordinate our operation throughout tens of locations in China, collaborates with our Mexico City office to provide flawless customer service, and manage 3 satellite offices, including our original office in Shiling, as well as offices in the cities of Yiwu and Shantou. Our range of services has expanded to include every step of the supply chain, covering product development, approval follow-up, and logistics, in addition to sourcing and quality assurance. Our plans for the future include expanding our already powerful network of suppliers to include manufacturers outside of China, and to continuously improving our knowledge and practices.
