Our Story

Glimex was founded in South Africa in 2016 as an export and import company, with branches in Rwanda and Nigeria. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought to a halt all traditional marketing stores, forcing some to shut down, GlimexOnline was established to give vendors and small business an alternative platform to continue and grow their business.
