The company reports a 2025 turnover of more than US$250 million, over 400 professional staff, more than 10,000 factory resources, 10,000 square meters of separate warehouses, and more than 10,000 containers shipped per year. It also states that it has served over 3,000 importers from 86 countries and that in 2021 the import and export volume of the whole group exceeded US$100 million. Its physical presence includes a 10,000 square meter showroom in Yiwu displaying more than 80,000 items, and the company says it welcomes customers and delegations 3,000 times each year. It uses a supermarket management system to keep prices updated and offers a VR showroom. Union Source presents itself as a strategic partner for global sourcing, with the stated goal of making global sourcing easier. It offers multilingual communication in English, French, Spanish, Russian and other languages, and cooperates with Sinosure for insurance and finance services.

Union Source was established in 2005 and specializes in general merchandise procurement and export.
