What Global Trading Service, Inc. does

Global Trading Service, Inc. (DBA: Global Trading Services / GTS) is a privately held importer and distributor headquartered in Miami, Florida, serving the corrugated cardboard and paper manufacturing industry across Latin America. The company was founded in 1995 and operates with 1–10 employees from a single office location, generating revenue through one-time distribution sales rather than subscription licensing. Its product portfolio is organized into three categories: (1) Die Making Products — including ejection rubber, profile rubber, die cutting supplies (PROFITAPE, shim tapes, plate cleaners), and a range of creasing matrix products (Channel, Corrugate, Countamax, PINK, Plastrix, VF Marathon); (2) Photopolymer Products under the KRYLEX brand — specialty substrates, GENESYS automation software, imaging solutions, and photopolymer resins for prepress workflows; and (3) Strapping Products — including TYCOON and TEWE polyester and polypropylene strapping plus T-Shark battery-powered hand tools distributed under partnership with Teufelberger, described as one of the world's largest producers of narrow polypropylene strapping.

The business model is a B2B sales-led distribution motion: customers request quotes through a website form, phone (+1 305-740-0338), or email ([email protected]), with no public pricing listed. GTS supplements product distribution with technical support services for installation, maintenance, and optimal operation of the integrated tooling and equipment it supplies, positioning itself as a service-oriented distributor rather than a pure reseller. Geographic reach is regional (Latin America), enabled by a bilingual English/Spanish storefront and direct sales channel targeting enterprise corrugated converters. The company does not develop proprietary technology, holds no patents or trademarks, has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, and no listed leadership team — consistent with a small, owner-operated industrial trading business.

There is no public financial disclosure; revenue, headcount trends, and ownership details are not published. The competitive position rests on a regional Latin American distribution footprint, multi-vendor product breadth across the corrugated value chain (die making, photopolymer prepress, strapping), and a technical-support layer that the company markets as its principal differentiator. Named partners include Teufelberger (core channel/distributor relationship); named customers are limited to three testimonial references (Diana Burnwood, Jessica Foxx, Lily Granger) with no disclosed revenue contribution.
