At the Heart of
Global Flows

Who we are

Our story begins in April 1994 in Hong Kong, a place and time that embodies the dazzling dynamism of international trade. It was not a trivial choice.

The Emergence

The dawn of the 1990s marked a historic turning point: Asia, and China in particular, established itself as the world’s workshop. Massive import flows to Europe and France grew exponentially, transforming the global logistics landscape. Hong Kong, then the gateway to mainland China, was at the heart of this revolution.
It was against this backdrop of growth and challenges that the Derudder family identified a crucial need for its international transit activities to France and founded Derudder Network Ltd.

A Response to Risk

The rapid increase in trade highlighted a flaw in the supply chain: the use of an ever-increasing number of freight forwarding agents to organise containerised goods shipments from Asia made the issuance of transport documents, particularly Bills of Lading (B/L), increasingly unreliable.
European shippers faced the risk of discrepancies between the goods declared by local agents and the actual contents of the container. It was essential to have a reliable local partner.

Cross-Trade Flows and Confidentiality

The development of intercontinental trade managed by centralised shippers in Europe, such as China-Africa or China-South America flows, known as cross-trade flows, requires complex management. For European sellers, it is often strategic to conceal the name of their actual supplier based in Asia from their end customer.
By acting as an intermediary, Derudder Network Ltd has provided this essential layer of confidentiality (or neutrality) that allows our customers to structure sophisticated global supply chains while protecting their competitive advantage.
