Enriching People's Lives For 160 Years

In 1865, three Swiss entrepreneurs made their way to Asia and founded flourishing trading houses. Over the next 160 years, these companies grew, diversified, and merged; offering high-quality products and services to enrich people’s lives across the region. Our history has laid the foundations for the company we are today and feeds the entrepreneurial spirit that remains at the heart of DKSH.
