About The Dutchman Duty Free
About Us
Our Journey
Founded a decade ago by two seasoned professionals from large international trading companies, The Dutchman Duty Free initially focused on supplying spirits, wines, and beer to smaller cruise lines and private yachts in former Dutch colonies.
Evolution and Vision
As our company grew, so did our vision. We expanded and diversified our portfolio to include fragrances, cosmetics, skincare, and gourmet niche products. Today, The Dutchman Duty Free, headquartered in the Netherlands with offices in Florida, USA, unites all these activities under one entity.
Our Expertise
Our team boasts global experience, having managed some of the largest trading companies and Duty-Free operators worldwide. We have strengthened our founding partners with experts from the financial services industry, bringing extensive experience in managing supply contracts, on-board and in-resort services, and leveraging the best technological platforms, accounting, and loss prevention systems.
Our Specialization
Unlike other distributors, The Dutchman specializes exclusively in the duty-free and travel retail markets. We not only ensure consistent supplies but also provide on-ground support to enhance overall performance and customer experience. Our expertise is deeply rooted in our own Duty-Free travel retail operations.
