From the Speicherstadt to everywhere
SDCH Handelslösungen is a consultancy firm that provides solutions to a wide array of firms, including industrial manufacturing, agricultural products, financial services, etc. What they have in common is a desire to grow their business by going international. Our solutions include trade facilitation, compliance management, opening marketing channels, etc.
Our main clients are small and medium firms that aim to export into, import from or do business with companies located in the European Union. We are strategically located in Hamburg, the third biggest port in Europe and main trade hub of Germany, its largest economy.
Almost a century and a half ago, my great-great-great grandfather, Salomon Daniel Cohen Henriquez, founded SDC Henriquez & Co, a Hamburg-based merchant company that imported and exported goods between South America and Germany.
I like to image what he would have thought while walking in the 1880s along the new buildings of the Speicherstadt, then the biggest warehousing district in the world. Much has changed in international trade from that era of steamers to our technologically accelerating world, where AI promises to disrupt the way we work and do business, among many other things.
Nonetheless, having worked in 4 continents, I believe that above technological, economic and social changes, as well as cultural differences, when it comes to international trade, trust is and will remain the most important value that one can offer. That is why, following the legacy of my ancestors, SDCH Handelslösungen strives to be a trusted partner for our international clients by providing outstanding services, going the extra mile when needed, and giving them a helping hand.
Dr. Ricardo Henriquez Managing Director
At SDCH, we like to breathe the air of diverse geographic regions, cultures, and business traditions, under a common mindset: we love internationalization and globality, and believe that trade is a force for development.
At the same time, we understand the complexities and hurdles that firms face when they do business in international markets, particularly when they are small companies. Our core mission is therefore to give them a helping hand by providing tailored solutions to the specific problems that they face.
