Your access to the DACH-market
– professional, direct, successful
International Export Solutions connects international manufacturers
with retailers, importers and partners in the DACH region.
What we do
We are your bridge to the DACH market. As a specialized import-export and brokerage company, we focus on bringing high-quality international products together with the right trading partners in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Our focus is on professional brokerage and strategic positioning of your products in the retail and foodservice sectors. We understand the complexity of the European market and guide you safely through regulatory requirements, cultural nuances, and trade dynamics.
With our deep industry understanding and established network, we open doors that would otherwise remain closed. We handle all communication, negotiation, and coordination — so you can focus on your core business.
DACH Region + Italy – Our Focus Market
We deliberately focus on four markets where we have deep market knowledge, strong networks, and proven trade success.
With over 100 million consumers, the DACH region together with Italy forms one of Europe's most attractive and affluent markets. We have deliberately specialized in these core markets to offer you maximum expertise and market access.
Germany
Europe's largest consumer market with over 83 million inhabitants. Complex trade structures, high quality standards, and established purchasing organizations make local expertise indispensable.
Austria
A high-income market with a strong focus on quality. Austrian retailers value long-term partnerships and prefer personally recommended suppliers.
Switzerland
High purchasing power, demanding consumers, and strict import regulations. Succeeding in Switzerland requires a partner with excellent process understanding and a strong network.
Italy
A dynamic market with a strong regional trade structure and growing demand for international products. Our partnership with local players enables rapid market access.
Our Services
From the initial market analysis to successful placement – we guide you through the
entire process of entering the DACH region market.
Product Placement
We analyze your product portfolio and identify the optimal buyers in the DACH market. Through our network of buyers and category managers, we create direct connections that would otherwise take years without us.
Access to Retail Chains
Direct access to the leading retail chains in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy. We know the listing processes, requirements, and contacts – and use this knowledge for your success.
International Negotiations
Negotiation at eye level – in the language and culture of our trade partners. We represent your interests professionally, transparently, and in a results-oriented manner, from the first presentation to contract conclusion.
Compliance & Certification
We guide you through the complex certification and compliance requirements of the DACH market. From food law to labeling requirements to specific retail standards – we ensure that your products meet all requirements.
Your Representation in Germany
We negotiate for you – directly on site
As an international company, you do not need to travel to Germany yourself or conduct complex negotiations from afar. We take over the complete representation of your interests on site and act as your extended arm in the DACH market.
Our team conducts all discussions with buyers, decision-makers, and retail partners personally in Germany. We understand the business culture, speak the language of German retail, and know the expectations of retail partners.
You stay informed and maintain control – we implement your strategy professionally and negotiate the best conditions for your products.
No Travel Costs
Save significant costs for travel, accommodation, and stays. We are permanently on site and represent you at all relevant meetings and appointments.
Cultural Competence
Business in Germany works differently than in other cultures. We understand the local business culture, expectations, and communication styles – and bridge these differences with confidence.
Direct Access
Our established network of buyers, decision-makers, and distributors is your direct entry point. No long waiting times, no cold calls – just access through trust.
Transparent Communication
You receive regular updates, clear reports, and open communication about every step of our activities. No black box – full transparency about our work for you.
