Li & Fung (Trading) Limited (Chinese: 利豐有限公司) (sehk|0494) is a global trading group managing the supply chain for high-volume, time-sensitive consumer goods. Garments make up a large part of the Li & Fung business which also covers the sourcing of hardgoods such as fashion accessories, furnishings, gifts, handicrafts, home products, promotional merchandise, toys, sporting goods and travel goods.

As a Supply Chain Manager across many producers and countries, Li & Fung provides the convenience of a one-stop shop for customers through a Total Value-Added Package: from product design and development, through raw material and factory sourcing, production planning and management, quality assurance and export documentation to shipping consolidation.

Founded in Guangzhou (Canton) in 1906, Li & Fung is today headquartered in Hong Kong from where it co-ordinates the manufacture of goods through a network of 70 offices in 40+ countries. While cost considerations have resulted in the concentration of manufacturing activities in Asia, recent years have seen an expansion of Li & Fung 's quick-response capabilities in areas like the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe and Central America that are closer to customers in Europe and the US. Instead of owning any production facilities, Li & Fung manages a large number of quality-conscious, cost-effective producers who can deliver to a deadline for its customers.

Li & Fung is a member of the Li & Fung Group of companies, which also includes privately held Retailing and Distribution businesses. With an annual turnover of around US$10 billion, Li & Fung (Trading) Limited employs about 12,000 people worldwide.
