Global Trading Partners LLC is a privately held operating company. We source, launch and run direct-to-consumer product businesses — and we hold what we build.
Global Trading Partners was formed in November 2023 to do one thing: build durable consumer product companies and keep them. Every brand under our roof is one we operate day to day — the supplier relationships, the listings, the ad accounts, the freight, the customer email.
That means our incentives are simple. We are not paid a retainer to have an opinion. We make money when the products sell, the margins hold and the customer comes back.
Six companies across phone accessories, advertising displays, home lighting, powersports parts and craft supplies — plus land. Each keeps its own brand, customer and catalogue; what they share is the back office.
Minimal bulk, maximum style. Ultra‑thin and MagSafe® cases, magnetic snap grips, Kevlar® shells, HyperGaN chargers and stands — engineered to add protection without adding a millimetre.
Holographic advertising for businesses that need to stop traffic. 3D hologram fans from 45cm to full modular walls, long‑throw gobo projectors and LED signage — sold with the content files to run them.
Galaxy and nebula projectors that turn a bedroom, nursery or gaming room into a night sky. Starry‑sky lamps, moon lamps and fibre‑optic night lights, most with app or remote control.
Factory‑direct aftermarket parts for side‑by‑sides, ATVs and off‑road machines — windshields and roofs through lift kits, wheels, winches and lighting, shipped across North America.
Everything a soap maker needs in one catalogue — bases, oils, butters, waxes, lye and additives, plus colourants, scents, moulds, cutters and packaging for finished bars.
A working conservation property in Greene County, Missouri. Enrolled in an NRCS windbreak programme and held as a long‑term natural asset alongside the operating businesses.
We are actively reviewing consumer product companies to acquire. If you have built something real and are thinking about the next chapter, we should talk.
Nothing here is outsourced to an agency. These are the functions we operate ourselves across every brand we own — which is why a new product can go from sample to storefront without a committee.
Factory shortlisting, sample rounds, tooling and price negotiation. We qualify a supplier before a purchase order exists, not after.
Spec sheets, materials, tolerances and packaging. We iterate on real units in hand until the product survives the way customers actually use it.
Naming, identity, photography, copy and the product pages themselves. One voice per brand, held consistently across every channel.
Storefront build and maintenance, catalogue structure, pricing, promotions, checkout and the customer service queue behind it.
Paid social and search, organic content, email and the placement work that builds authority. Measured against contribution margin, not impressions.
Freight booking, customs paperwork, inbound receiving and the pick‑pack relationships that get an order out the door on time.
Inspection protocols, certification paperwork and the returns data that tells you which batch went wrong before the reviews do.
Sell‑through, sell‑in and margin by SKU. What to reorder, what to discontinue and what deserves a second generation.
We are not trying to buy everything. These four filters decide whether a conversation goes anywhere — and we will tell you inside a week.
Most acquirers of small consumer brands have never packed a pallet or argued with a factory over a tolerance. We have. That changes what the conversation sounds like.
No associate, no intermediary, no committee. The person you speak to is the person who decides.
If it is not a fit we say so quickly and tell you why, rather than keeping you warm for a quarter.
We buy to operate. Your customers keep the product they liked and the name on the box does not change.
There is no limited partner waiting on a return in year five, so there is no pressure to strip costs to make a window.
Every company we own is one I would still want to run if it never got any bigger. That is the test.
Whether you are thinking about selling, looking for a supply partner, or just want to know what your business would look like inside a portfolio — start the conversation.
Tell us what you have built and what you are trying to do next. Everything you send is treated as confidential.
Thanks — we have it. You will hear back from Troy within a few business days.
