Trade Wings @15
Looking back from today -- our 15th anniversary -- Trade Wings’ commitment to delivering customer value has truly transformed its mission. Between 1996, when the company was founded, through 2007, Trade Wings’ core business was sourcing hard-to-find technology components such as semi-conductors. But as the pace of change within the Telecom industry accelerated – and in the face of a challenging economy – we realized that by applying Trade Wings’ expertise to help carriers and OEMs understand the strategic importance of asset visibility for more intelligent reuse/resale/recycling decisions, the company could forge deeper, more profitable client relationships.
The results? Since evolving the company’s strategic focus, Trade Wings has grown considerably. In fact, a significant percentage of our annual revenues are now derived from sources that didn’t exist prior to 2009. At the same time, the company has become a truly global organization, opening offices around the world to facilitate material flows for some of the world’s largest Telecom providers. With momentum for our solutions increasing, I have only Trade Wings’ outstanding employees to thank for their vision and tremendous commitment to our customers everywhere.
