Meet our founder
We're not just the average sourcing company or agent in China. We're Canadian owned, and have over a decade of experience that we carefully weave into each and every project.
Matthew Chipchura
Founder
With an early interest in entrepreneurship and successful operation of multiple e-commerce shops at just 14 years of age, Matthew developed a deep understanding of Chinese culture, manufacturing in China and the common barriers importers face.
On a business trip to China in 2012, he observed that trustworthy, reliable, and English-speaking product sourcing agencies were virtually non-existent, so he sought out to create an immediate solution.
Using his knowledge in international trade, manufacturing and supply chain management, coupled with his passion for helping others — Advanta was founded.
