40 YEARS OF ACTIVE TRADING
Eckmann Handelsgesellschaft mbH, based in Düsseldorf, is your reliable and competent partner in the primarily European import and export trade.
As an owner-managed, mid-sized family business, we stand out due to our flexibility, speed and customer orientation, which our customers and suppliers have grown to expect. In over four decades, we have been able to open up ever new markets, providing our trading partners with profitable options.
Particular focus is placed on brokering, where international brand products are traded as remaining stock, low-cost lots subject to special terms and conditions, but also as part of long-term business. ECKMANN Handelsgesellschaft mbH is also engaged in the parallel trade of national and international brands in the European Union.
“Europe is our trading center.”
CUSTOMER OR SUPPLIER. BOTH ARE KING.
Well-known large-scale retail sales operations such as chains, department stores, cash & carry businesses and discounters have developed close and profitable business relations with us.
Whether it be non-alcoholic beverages and other long-life foods, cleaning agents and detergents, personal hygiene articles or hygienic paper products: Leading brands enable our customers to generate a higher margin.
“Trust matters. That’s the motto we live by every day in all our partnerships.”
OUTSOURCING EXPORT
Trading within Europe can be a complex affair, posing legal and administrative challenges especially for small and mid-sized producing enterprises (SMEs). Companies planning to trade goods and services in the single European market must comply with numerous obligations and requirements under VAT and excise duty laws. They quickly realize that the devil is in the detail.
If you find that the process is not as smooth as you would like for your business, why not outsource the problem areas of your export department to us and benefit from our know-how, administrative capacities and experience. Not only will this give you certainty of compliance with the laws and regulations related to intra-European trade; it will also free up time for you to focus on your core business.

“We will negotiate the depths of VAT law correctly and efficiently for you.”
