Meet Ting Xu
Founder & Chairman of the Board
“My Evergreen story is really my American dream. I came from China as a 19-year-old without much certainty about what I wanted to do with my life in my new home. But I knew I had a passion for family, a talent for leadership, and a curiosity and drive for business success. I launched Evergreen for my parents in 1993 as an outlet to celebrate our family’s creativity. My mom designed and sewed flags in our garage, and we sold them at the Virginia State Fair. Over the next couple of years, as we continued to grow, we attended our first wholesale show and released our first catalog. Today, the company has over 500 employees and 2 corporate offices located in Richmond, Virginia and Ningbo, China, and yet we still retain our passion for our people and our products.
As large as Evergreen has grown, I continue to see and appreciate that it's the unique individuals that make up the rich and diverse tapestry of our company. I want us to always celebrate that uniqueness with our products, providing meaningful ways for our customers to tell their stories to the world. As I look to the future for Evergreen, pushing through the many challenges and global changes that we will continue to face, I know we will maintain our core family values while always striving for progressive thinking and best practices. Evergreen is my family, and we pride ourselves in uniting our employees, customers and partners as a part of that family.”
