See Kai Run Expands, Earns Inc. Ranking Again

Children’s shoe manufacturer See Kai Run has added several new worldwide distributors, growing its sales presence in Asia and the Middle East. “As we continue to expand our brand to more and more countries, I realize that parents around the world—not just in the United States—echo what I had suspected when we started the company nearly six years ago,” founder Cause Haun said. “They want healthy, comfortable, high-quality footwear for their children and they want a chic, stylish alternative to what has been readily available.”

The new global distributors include The Moment in Taiwan, a children’s retail chain; Global Outsource Solutions in Singapore and Malaysia, a sister company to U.K.-based children’s specialty store Mothercare; and Booster Energy Ltd., which sells children’s products in Israel.

See Kai Run has also landed on Inc. magazine’s 500 | 5000 list for the second consecutive year. The list is a ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The vendor placed at No. 1608 with a three-year growth rate of 178 percent. It also ranked at No. 97 within “consumer products and services” and No. 35 among Seattle companies. “While it’s been a challenging year, we continue to differentiate ourselves in the children’s shoe marketplace with top quality, superior customer care and unique designs,” Haun said. “I’d like to thank our loyal and always-enthusiastic customers, as they are a vital part of our success.” Visit www.seekairun.com.
