History
Established 1832 in Bremen, a port of capital importance in Europe at the time, Louis Delius initially exported linen to Latin America. On the way back, it took tobacco to the markets in Europe.
A few years after adding cotton and coffee to its assortment, Louis Delius was counted among the most significant trading firms of Bremen.
In order to export tools, machinery and hardware from German producers, an additional division was set up in 1910. Given the steadily increasing demand from Latin America, that division finally emerged into the trade group’s principal business after 1950.
Accredited as a market leader amongst medium-sized German export companies, the Louis Delius Group nowadays keeps 18 representations in Latin America and branch offices in Germany, China, Singapore, and South Africa. It does business in 37 countries on four continents.
