About us

Swagman Traders Pty. Ltd. is the import and export company registered in Australia since December 2013 with the Head Office in Sydney.
Touch on the history

It is essential we go back and touch bit of history to explain how and why Swagman Traders was established.

About 20 years ago, there were only handfuls of Nepalese students living across various parts of Australia. Being long way away from home and especially being the first encounter for many of us to this Western world and its culture, it was quite a long transition process for settlement. Adapting to this new western life style was already challenging and on top missing our family back home in Nepal made us home-sick. Then we started searching for things to do here in Australia and looked for ways to unite with one another. We then learnt to gather more often, shared the good old stories, started to sing and dance, and of course the Nepalese food that gave us sense of comfort and helped us reunite with Nepal. Unfortunately, back in those days, to prepare even a small meal, it was easily a half-a-day plan to the nearest grocery store at first.
However, now – ‘Two decades later’, we can simply walk to many Nepalese as well as other South East Asian Grocery stores around where we live and can easily purchase varieties of items as per our daily needs. We must be very proud and thankful to everyone involved in the community who worked very hard to make this happen as we have come a long way for being able to provide that convenience at our door steps.

Birth of Swagman Traders Pty. Ltd.

Swagman Traders was therefore established and primarily to satisfy these three specific needs;

At FIRST, as we saw there was continuous demand from the growing Nepalese Community for a variety of Asian grocery items, we would like to support and strengthen that supply chain process through the continuous import, uninterrupted supply and distribution of those products and provide the professional yet personalised and friendly service experience to our business stakeholders.

SECONDLY and most importantly, we have found a huge vacuum/gap in the quality of those Asian grocery items being imported to satisfy that needs/demand from this growing community. We understand we have come a long way in terms of providing convenience however we have identified that there is huge lacking in providing quality products to our access. Swagman believes that quality of products that we purchase and consume here in Australia should be nothing less than what our family/relatives currently consume in Nepal. Rather it should be of as much higher quality in line with the standard of Australian products that are currently available in the market.

And FINALLY, we spend most of our time in the research and exploration of not only quality products but products that are authentic in flavor, genuine in style and typical in nature that will help you to revitalize your taste buds and take you back to the memory lane of your child hood where we all had that experience eating foods prepared from our grandma’s kitchen or from the typical local authentic food provider operating business from generations.
