A Trading Company Built Out of Eight Years in the Saudi Market
Ningbo Al Musa Trading Co., Ltd was set up in 2018 to supply garment accessories to the Middle East. The range is narrow on purpose: it holds what thobe, abaya, shirt and uniform production in the Gulf actually orders.
How the Company Started
Before Al Musa Trading existed, its founder spent eight years selling into the Saudi Arabian market. That is where the range comes from. The buckle is 58 mm because that is what Saudi uniform programmes use. The thobe button is 22L because that is what thobe makers ask for. The gold in the trimming lace has to sit next to the gold in the metallic yarn, because on an abaya panel a buyer sees them as one colour.
The company was registered in 2018 and its first export order shipped to Saudi Arabia in April 2020, in the middle of the lockdown there. It was a single item order. Nothing about it was impressive except that it went out on time and the quality held, which is what the customer had asked for.
Today the polyester sewing thread is made in our own factory in Yiwu City. The other lines are sourced by the same team and consolidated at the same address, so a buyer places one order and receives one shipment.
Polyester sewing thread from our own factory in Yiwu, wound to the yardage and cone the buyer specifies.
Only Figures We Can Stand Behind
We do not publish a factory area, a machine count, an employee number or a list of certifications, because we would be inventing them. These four are real.

About Al Musa Trading
When was the company founded?
Ningbo Al Musa Trading Co., Ltd was established in 2018. The founding salesman had worked the Saudi Arabian market for eight years before that.
Do you hold ISO or other certifications?
We do not publish certifications, because we do not currently hold any that we could show you. If a certificate matters for your order, tell us which one and we will say plainly whether it exists.
Are you a factory or a trading company?
Both, depending on the line. The polyester sewing thread is made in our own factory in Yiwu. Everything else we source and consolidate.
How large is the range?
Twelve accessory lines and the items listed on this site. It is deliberately narrow and built around what Gulf garment production orders.
Who will handle my enquiry?
Kevin. The same person quotes the order, follows the production and answers if something goes wrong.
