About Us
TradingPartners was founded in 2001 in London with a staff of three people and one great idea—to wrap services around reverse auction software so that companies could realize cost savings without implementing software and managing the eAuction process themselves.
By 2004, TradingPartners was one of the fastest growing businesses in the UK. That same year, TradingPartners opened its first overseas office in Chicago. The Shanghai office opened in 2006, extending TradingPartners’ global reach to Asia and enhancing supplier diversity. In 2008, TradingPartners launched a US growth strategy, opening an office in Atlanta. The New York office followed in 2009.
Today TradingPartners is a rapidly-growing firm that employs nearly 100 people and is positioned for continued success as the leading fully-managed eAuction solution.
