Making Chinese Manufacturing and Shipping Less Complicated for American Businesses | President at MGD Solutions

Manufacturing in China is scary.

Without relationships and a presence on the factory floor, the barrier to success is more than just communication:
Agents are taking a cut
You have to wire funds upfront
Shipping is a complicated nightmare that can take months

None of that has to be true.

My grandparents Murray and Goldie Damast (MGD) started the family manufacturing business just shy of 100 years ago. I became the first “IT Department” at 12. 

Today, MGD Solutions helps companies of all sizes from design to delivery:
- Pay nothing upfront
- Pay by credit card when the bill is due
- Get shipments from the factory floor to your warehouse door in as few as 14 days

Business owners, merchandise managers, and entrepreneurs interact with our NY-based team while our team on the ground in our Yiwu, Qingdao and Guangzhou factories make sure your products are manufactured within the standards and timeline you expect. 

But you should know — manufacturing is only half the battle. 

We land multiple containers in the Port of Los Angeles every week. 

And our ocean freight consolidation service means products are delivered: 
- For up to 30% less
- In as few as 10 days
- With customs clearance and freight segregation included

I joined my dad in the office during a school holiday in 1994. 
I’ve seen a lot since then, and here’s what I know:

Manufacturing in China doesn’t have to be scary.  
Shipping doesn’t have to be complicated.

Let’s talk. DM me.
