​Our history

With more than 30 years’ experience, Smerwick Group is an expert in assisting customers with their supply needs throughout the procurement process.
Smerwick Limited was founded in 1982 in Taipei, and was initially specialized in the trading of hard consumer goods, as well as computer and industrial products.

In the late 1990s, Longfield Limited was established in Hong Kong to source and export hard consumer goods as well as soft consumer goods. Another office was set up in Shanghai to get closer to the production sites. All these companies were grouped under the holding company Smerwick Group Limited.

In the 2000s, the Group strengthened its focus on home textile manufacturing following its acquisition in 2006 by the French listed company U10 Group, specialized in the design and outsourcing of production of complete turnkey merchandising lines for mass market distributors in particular in the home textile decoration business.

After 2010, Smerwick Group capitalized on its past experience in gift and premium and set up various subsidiaries specializing in the sourcing, design, production and export of inflight branded products as well as consumer and promotional items. 

Today, Smerwick Group Limited is thriving, both in hard and soft consumer goods, promotional items, as well as industrial products.
