We are Importano!
Importano was founded in 2020, right in the middle of COVID-19. But our story started much earlier.
Our founder, Ino Topalović, began his career at a customs broker’s office in Europe. Over the years, he worked across manufacturing, logistics, sales, and international sourcing – building a well-rounded view of how global trade really works. In 2013, his journey brought him to China, where he has lived ever since with his family.
Ino’s career in China began with a major U.S. quality assurance firm. That role, and the decade of insights that followed, revealed a deep need: businesses needed reliable partners who could bridge cultures, verify quality, and navigate the messy middle of global sourcing. So in 2020, he launched Importano Sourcing Group with one goal: to do things the right way even when it’s harder.
