Moteng was founded in 1980 in Los Angeles as a supplier of knives and imported African artifacts.  Fine wall hangings hand woven by the Moteng Mountain tribesman in the Kingdom of Lesotho gave the company its name.

Moteng has continually enhanced both its products and services.  Our website has  been voted having the most information and easiest to use by our customers.

In 1987 the company was acquired by Les Edelstein and John Smaller, and relocated to San Diego, California.  Neville Berman joined the company as Vice President of Operations in 1994.

In 1999 the company moved into our present location.  A custom built, 35,000 square foot warehouse and office complex in the heart of San Diego.

Thanks to the incredible support of our very loyal customers and vendors, Moteng has grown to become one of the leading distributors in our industry.  Moteng now offers over 20,000 items from over 200 best selling brands.
