On June 19, 2002, the merger between Diethelm Keller and SiberHegner was completed, forming the DKSH Group. By reinventing the conventional trading company and creating a distinctive new category:
Market Expansion Services (MES)
, DKSH has achieved strong annual growth each year since 2002 and created more than 13,500 jobs. The MES model has navigated a new path along the irreversible road to globalization. Our services take outsourcing to a new level, adding value for our clients and helping them to achieve unprecedented success in Asia.
To continuously improve our business model, DKSH concentrates on three main pillars. First, we expand existing markets and business units through organic growth, business development and rolling out success stories across Asia, complemented with strategic bolt-on acquisitions. Second, we continually strengthen and expand our range of service offerings across the entire value chain. Third, we continuously strive to improve the efficiency of our processes.
At DKSH, people are our most valuable asset. Today, our 27,600 people, representing 63 nationalities, work together in 35 countries. Each one positively touches the lives of millions of people by providing the products that meet their daily needs. DKSH is dedicated to empowering its people to grow personally and professionally. This is achieved through the
DKSH Fantree Academy
, a corporate in-house training and development center that offers Groupwide programs focused on core leadership capabilities and functional skills.
