BECI Handels GmbH was founded in
Berlin in 1993 by Mrs Heidelore
Gitschlag jointly with another partner
who has since left the company.
Right after the firm's foundation, it
was able to acquire some major business
areas and other assets from an insolvent
successor company of the former East
German foreign trade organization
chemicals import and export, and to
recruit suitably experienced staff at
its Berlin and Moscow sites.
This accounts for our long-standing
competence when it comes to trading in
chemical products.
As a consequence, our initial business
dealings concentrated almost exclusively
on chemicals trading in the framework of
developing trade relations between West
Europe and the CIS of the time.
Even today is this business area an
important area of our work and we feel
over the years as a recognized
specialist in the field of trade of
chemical raw materials between Western
Europe and the former CIS - countries.
That this will continue to be a
significant part of our firm's future is
our belief, despite the fact that since
its foundation there has been marked
diversification of our key business in
Europe and also overseas.
With the founders daughter joining the
firm in 2001, an important decision was
made to ensure our continued development
for the company BECI Handels GmbH.
