The team behind your vision.
Built from experience,
driven by excellence.
GD Direct — formerly GD Purchasing — is a family-owned company founded by Mario Álvarez and Ana María González in 2014. What started in Hong Kong as a sourcing operation grew organically over a decade into a full-service international product developer registered in Florida, USA.
Headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia, with operations in Miami and a direct team in Hangzhou, China, we specialize in sourcing, manufacturing, and assembly for both custom product designs and off-the-shelf offerings across Latin America and the United States.
Our growth has been built entirely on trust and results — not marketing. Every client in our portfolio came through referrals and real performance.
Purpose, Vision & Values.
Our Mission
To make international trade predictable for SMEs in LATAM and the United States.
Our Vision
To evolve GD Direct into an AI-assisted trade intelligence — where agents trained on real product development expertise guide every SME from concept to delivery, learning from every interaction. By 2034, serving 100,000 businesses across the Americas with over 1 million operations annually — making international product development efficient, reliable, and profitable for every business that trusts us with their vision.
Our Values
Know their world. — We invest in understanding our clients’ core business — their industry, their margins, their risks. Because the right solution only comes from genuine intelligence, not assumptions.
Work with dignity. Live with purpose. — We believe honest, dedicated work doesn’t just pay bills — it builds character, earns respect, and defines who we are. We bring that conviction to everything we do.
Do good. Be the one they trust. — Trust is earned through consistent action, not promises. We do right by our clients, our suppliers, and each other — every time.
Clients first. Team second. Founders last. — Our clients’ success comes before our team’s comfort, and our team’s wellbeing comes before the founders’ gain. That’s the order. Always.
Make it work. Make it worth it. — International trade doesn’t have to be painful. We bring energy, creativity, and rigor to every project — because the best results happen when the work is also enjoyable.
Smart people ask for help. — Knowing what you don’t know is a strength. We ask questions, seek expertise, and collaborate — because the best solutions rarely come from one person alone
