Who We Are
Founded in 1994 in Toronto, Canada, Regency World Import Export was born from a simple vision: to connect the world through quality goods and seamless trade. At the heart of this vision stood our founder and CEO, Gjergji Stavri, whose entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to excellence have guided the company from its modest beginnings to its current standing as an international export powerhouse.
In the early days, we operated out of a small warehouse, focusing exclusively on importing outdoor furniture for the Canadian market. Gjergji recognised the demand for well?crafted, durable products and set out to bridge the gap between international suppliers and local retailers. Navigating international supply chains in the 1990s was fraught with challenges - from fluctuating exchange rates to unpredictable shipping delays and an ever?shifting regulatory landscape. Gjergji's resilience, paired with a keen eye for opportunity, allowed the company to weather these storms.
