Skyrun International Shoe Company - Nanjing, China

What an interesting day! My experience here today at Skyrun was very informative. We discussed the logistics of this company in terms of transporting goods internationally. Skyrun International transports goods all around the world to different countries. This company chooses to ship their products mainly by sea. The manager of the company is extremely nice. Although at times a challenge to completely understand, the warm hearted gestures spoke louder than any tone. We also brainstormed ideas for future business proposals, as well as discussed the ups and downfalls of any business.


An actual shoe factory was toured prior to this visit where pictures were taken. Today those pictures were used to complete a PowerPoint presentation on basic fundamentals of making a shoe. What an honor to complete such a task for one of the biggest international companies in China. A report was also submitted to compliment the presentation. All is well here in Nanjing, and the possibilities are endless!
