ABOUT US
Our Story
DA International Group (DAI) was founded 35 years ago with a $5,000 loan and one big idea: to help bring other people’s ideas to life through custom product design and manufacturing.
Our founder and President, Dave, started in a small Seattle workspace, printing on film cassettes and printing on the first stainless-steel mugs for Starbucks, Tully’s, and other iconic coffee brands. What began as a one-person operation has evolved into a global custom product development company with offices in the U.S. and Asia, a 10,000 sq ft warehouse, and a portfolio of over 6,000 unique products. Over the past 35 years, we’ve manufactured and shipped hundreds of millions of units worldwide, generating millions in retail sales.
Today, DA International Group (DAI) is a trusted leader in custom product manufacturing. Dave still works directly with clients, bringing his experience and passion to every project.
