The Co-founder Behind
Your China Manufacturing Partner

More than 12 years of B2B export and custom promotional manufacturing — the experience behind every order.

We don't believe in one-off transactions. Every order is an opportunity to prove what a true manufacturing partnership looks like — proactive communication, rigorous quality control, and a relentless commitment to your brand's standards.

Raymond Gao

Sales & Operations

Raymond Gao is the Co-founder of LeelinePromotion, based in China. With more than 12 years of hands-on experience in B2B export and the custom promotional gifts industry, he has built solid expertise in global client acquisition, custom order project management, product compliance and international logistics.

Prior to co-founding LeelinePromotion, Raymond spent years supporting North American, European and Australian businesses sourcing branded merchandise. He deeply understands the common pain points of overseas buyers: unstable factory lead times, complicated compliance requirements, intricate shipping terms and poor order communication.

Raymond leads the sales and operations team. His core responsibilities include client requirement analysis, artwork confirmation, production schedule tracking, compliance documentation (REACH, CPSIA) and multi-modal delivery arrangements including DDP, DAP and DPU.

He prioritizes transparent communication, realistic timeline planning and cost control on every custom project.

Raymond believes long-term partnerships are built on trust and consistent delivery. He established LeelinePromotion as a one-stop promotional manufacturing partner, helping global brands transform marketing ideas into compliant, high-quality custom branded products.

Core Values

What We Stand For

Five principles that shape every decision we make — and every partnership we build.

Ownership

We treat every order like it carries our own brand name. No hand-offs, no excuses — one team accountable from factory floor to final delivery.

Precision

Tolerances matter. Color matches matter. Stitch counts matter. Our quality control protocols catch what others miss — before it ships, not after.

Bridge Building

We translate more than language. We translate expectations, cultural norms, and quality standards between Western buyers and China's best manufacturers.

Long Game

Every relationship is measured in years, not transactions. We invest in factory partnerships, team training, and infrastructure that compounds over time.

Relentless Resourcefulness

When a factory says "impossible," we find the one that says "let me show you how." Thirty-plus manufacturing clusters mean there's always a solution.
