DKSH in Chile

DKSH has been in Chile since 1989, when it agreed with Chilean company Trade Management Group (TMG) to establish a joint office.

The focus of this office was mainly to handle food-related items purchased from local suppliers and shipped mainly to Japan.

In 1997, TMG was fully acquired by DKSH, and became its first and sole office in South America.

In 2001, we added sales to our sourcing activities in the food and personal care industries.

Today we continue to deliver Market Expansion Service solutions to our customers in Latin America by supplying raw materials and leading edge-technology from Asia, Europe and the US. At the same time we offer regional suppliers the opportunity to access the global markets where DKSH is located and operates.

We work side-by-side with suppliers all over the world, and help them to develop innovative new products by providing valuable feedback and information from our clients and markets.
