We are one of the pioneering Swiss companies in the Philippines. In 1887, Swiss entrepreneur Edward Anton Keller founded the trading firm Edward Keller and Company. The first office was located in Escolta, Manila, and later moved to Makati City.

Over the years, the business continued to grow and expand its operations in the Philippines. In 1976, it opened its first provincial office in Cebu, and in 1996, its second provincial office in Davao. During that same year, the company took full ownership of Griffith Laboratories (Philippines), Inc., to become Edward Keller (Philippines), Inc.

In 2001, Edward Keller and the Diethelm Group merged to become Diethelm Keller. This was followed in 2002 by the merger of the Diethelm Keller and SiberHegner groups to form DKSH.

Today, after more than 120 years, DKSH Philippines, Inc. is a leading provider of technologically advanced, innovative specialty ingredients, products, services, and solutions to key industries in the Philippines, other parts of Asia, and the world.
