Who is Michigan
Global Trade?

Michigan Global Trade, LLC is a Woman-owned company owned by Mary Ann Ferris-Young in Grand Rapids, Michigan, specializing in importing, exporting and sourcing worldwide. This venture started out as an idea in 2005 when Mary Ann and her husband, Tim, were importing a few products from China and had a difficult time finding a reliable supplier.

Global Sourcing

Working with foreign factories, such as China, to manufacture your product or component necessitates a comprehensive understanding of global rules, logistics, tariffs, quality standards, and effective communication protocols.

This entails navigating a complex landscape of legal frameworks, shipping procedures, and trade agreements, while also ensuring that stringent quality expectations are met. Effective communication is paramount in bridging cultural and linguistic barriers, fostering strong working relationships, and ultimately ensuring the success of your venture in the global marketplace.

Michigan Global Trade, LLC, a business specializing in Global Sourcing and Manufacturing, is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Great Lakes Women Business Council, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

Our team is fully dedicated to offering a wide range of solutions that are specifically tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you require exceptional products or reliable manufacturing services, rest assured that we have you covered.

With an unwavering focus on delivering success, we ensure that every aspect of our operations reflects our commitment to maintaining high standards.

Client Testimonials

“Working with Mary Ann and her team at Michigan Global Trade took the guess work out of sourcing in China for us. Michigan Global Trade saved us the time and money associated with building trust, managing communication, and monitoring quality while letting us taking advantage of pricing associated with outsourced manufacturing and focus on what we do best – marketing and selling our products.”
Tim, ECommerce Custom Product Customer
"I met Mary-Ann at the Michigan Inventors Coalition conference. She reviewed my product and assured me she could not only manufacture it but also handle the import/export. She went to China on my behalf, set everything up, came back with an amazing quote for not only the prototype but tooling as well. Any inventor knows this is a critical piece to have, knowing how much it cost to make your product. We also have created a bond and will continue to work together on other numerous projects helping other inventors. It has been such a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much for everything!!"
