DKSH Vietnam: more than 30 years as a trusted partner of established brands

DKSH’s history began when three Swiss entrepreneurs embarked on a journey to Asia at the end of the 19th century.

DKSH Vietnam has acquired an extensive distribution network across 63 cities and provinces since 1991, partnering with hundreds of brands, serving hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of consumers in the market.

Technology has been one of the leading industries in Vietnam and one of DKSH’s key Business Units. Across 18 markets, DKSH is a companion of 25.000 clients, with 1.360 experts, 80 offices, 25 showrooms and labs.
