Viahart was founded in 2010. We are an innovative consumer products company. We design, manufacture, and distribute consumer products ranging from educational toys & sporting goods to cell phone & AI-powered electronic accessories. We also offer innovative logistics and manufacturing services. Because we sell worldwide and make our products in different countries (not just China), we’ve built a base to navigate tariffs and changes in global trade. The company is not owned by private equity and the owners, employees, and their families use the products we make. Our business has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, on television (CNBC and NBC), and in the New York Times. Learn more about our company at https://viahart.com/
