Dubai, UAE: Tradeling, the Middle East and North Africa’s dominant e-marketplace focused on business-to-business (B2B) transactions, partnered with Astrum Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of IT accessories and consumer electronic goods, to support the distribution of Astrum’s products in MENA and ensure ease of operations in the region.

Driven by the purpose that everything they do, they do because they believe the future of trade is digital, Tradeling is giving their users what they never thought they needed by enabling cross border trade and unlocking the MENA region to internationally based sellers and manufacturers all while providing MENA buyers with financial services to accelerate their growth plans and maximise their profits.

In cooperation with Tojoy Shared Holding Group and Astrum, Tradeling will be the sole and exclusive master distributor of Astrum’s goods in the MENA region.

In addition to a wider network, Tradeling provides Astrum with exemplary services like product inspection, logistics, warehousing, customer acquisition, distribution, marketing, and after-sales services.
