United Pangaea Corporation (UPC) was started with the vision of bringing the world back "together through trade”. The namesake “Pangaea” refers to when the Earth had a single supercontinent. While the continents may no longer be combined, modern times allow us to reconnect through international trade. The founders wanted to empower the artisanal and SMB workforce in developing nations by giving them access to the USA’s economy, while simultaneously providing domestic customers access to unique or valuable goods from around the world. Leveraging how efficient global communication and transportation have become means that a robust supply chain can be built that is mutually contributed to everyone’s growth. We can empower emerging markets while helping stimulate our own domestically. We specialize in international business development and the import-export of goods between developing and established markets. A foundation of ethics and meticulous supply chain due diligence formed our core. Our business development team helped create a vertically integrated system that allowed us to provide end clients with products that were sourced directly. This ensured that those who helped create the goods directly benefited the most with each sale while maintaining oversight at each step of manufacturing to provide superb quality control. We initially focused on precious minerals (gems and metals) in the B2B market, then quickly expanded into finished goods (mining equipment, jewelry, biotech, and mining devices) and B2C market. Having established business relationships with locals allowed us to seek out opportunities to diversify by going into other sectors such as agriculture and infrastructure, and grew our clientele to include NPOs and Governments. One of our primary goals is to help mitigate human capital flight (“brain drain”) by creating opportunities for locals, knowing it will eventually contribute to our success and humanity's overall advancement. Come grow with us!
