Today, the Diethelm Keller Group consists of four operating units, plus the divisions Diethelm Keller Real Estate and Shareholder Services as well as participations in DKSH Holding Ltd. and Bergos Ltd. All subsidiaries hold strong positions within their respective fields and operate with a high degree of entrepreneurial autonomy.
