Mr. Glušac has a master’s degree in economics. His thesis was titled "How to Lobby in China". He currently lives in China with his wife, Xiaobo Liu, where they have been residing since 2009.

Recognizing the growing need for reliable sourcing and shipping from China, Mr. Glušac established Guangzhou Gabriel Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd. in 2011.

In 2013, Gabriel Group partnered with www.uvozizkine.com, a leading resource for importers from China in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. As of January 1, 2020, Gabriel Group is the official owner of the website.

In 2017, Mr. Josip Glušac and Mrs. Xiaobo Liu founded Aoluola International Trade Limited in Hong Kong to expand their business and reach global markets.

In June 2020, the Chinese government announced the Hainan Free Trade Port Masterplan, an ambitious project to transform the entire island province into China’s largest free trade zone, aimed at competing with Hong Kong and Singapore. Anticipating this shift, in 2019 we moved our operations from Guangzhou to Hainan, Sanya City, and established Sanya Gabriel Import & Export Co., LTD.
