The founders of the Diethelm and Keller companies started their businesses in the late 1 860s, trading products between Europe and Asia. Over time, descendants of the founding families expanded the trading business to take in marketing, logistics and related services, while also diversifying into industrial and travel activities.
Today, the Diethelm Keller Group consists of four operating units, plus the divisions Diethelm Keller Real Estate and Shareholder Services as well as participations in DKSH Holding Ltd. and Bergos Ltd. All subsidiaries hold strong positions within their respective fields and operate with a high degree of entrepreneurial autonomy.
