About Us
Sphere Resources makes sourcing and procurement in China easy. Since 2009, we have helped hundreds of western businesses develop and manufacture their products in China and Southeast Asia.
Our Story
Sphere Resources was founded in 2009 by Australian Sam Clay and Christina Wong in Dongguan, China. Their vision was to bridge the gap between Western companies and Chinese manufacturers.
They accomplished this by locating Sphere Resources in the heart of south China manufacturing and building a highly competent international team that could communicate effectively with both Chinese factories and Western corporations.
