About us
INDEPENDENT AND NEUTRAL – SINCE 20 YEARS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
The HDS International Group is an international partnership organisation headquartered in Switzerland.
The first company of the present-day HDS International Group was founded in Braunschweig in 2005 by René Fromme and Dr Daniel Steinke.
Since then, the focus of its consulting services has been the analysis and optimisation of logistics costs along the entire supply chain for industrial and commercial customers.
Over the years, an extensive service portfolio has been built up around this core area of consulting, covering all aspects of transport and logistics costs.
By 2007, the HDS International Group team had grown to over 30 consultants. In 2010, the service portfolio was expanded to include digital invoice verification and self-billing processes.

Know-How
Over the following years, companies were established in Austria (Vienna), Russia (Moscow), Ukraine (Kherson) and Switzerland (Basel).
However, the sites in Moscow and Ukraine were sold again in 2022 due to the war in Ukraine.
In 2023, the HDS International Group set up another location in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) to further expand its consulting services in Asia for its European customers.
In addition to traditional freight purchasing for Asian imports to Europe, the HDS International Group handles digitisation projects and business process outsourcing (BPO) services for its customers through its location in Vietnam.
With nine partners and almost 100 employees in four countries, the HDS International Group is currently the largest consultancy and services organisation in the field of logistics cost management.
