At SBC Badai Al-Bardi Stationery / SBC International Trading, I lead purchasing and sourcing for a wholesale stationery and school-supplies business serving Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
I source and negotiate with manufacturers in China, Turkey, and Italy, and regularly travel to China to develop supplier relationships and assess sourcing opportunities. I identify alternatives and negotiate commercial terms that deliver significant cost savings.
I also develop product and packaging improvements, balancing customer appeal, specifications, cost, and shipping volume. I coordinate quotations, purchase orders, supplier follow-up, quality requirements, and shipment timelines.
