Welcome toWD PLUS

Our company - WD Plus GmbH, based in Hanover - has grown into a highly professional import company since it was founded in 2011. Our 44 employees at the Hanover location guarantee seamless, reliable and cost-optimised import processing from Asia on various modes of transport (sea, air, rail).

We are currently supported by 18 colleagues who maintain direct contact with long-standing business partners in our representative office in Guangzhou.

More than aRepresentative Office in China

Relations between Germany and China are currently more intensive than ever before. This applies in particular to economic cooperation between the two countries. Germany is by far China's most important trading partner in Europe. Conversely, China is the number one economic partner country for Germany in Asia.  

Since the beginnings of WD Plus, our branch office based in the Chinese port city of Guangzhou has therefore played a prominent role in terms of cooperation with the various manufacturers in the respective industry.

Mobility as the foundationImport & Logistics

The basis of every logistics system is to ensure the availability of the right product, in the right quantity, in the right condition, at the right place and at the right time. The daily task of more than 40 employees at the Hanover site is to manage all this while taking the right costs into account.  

The continuous growth of the material flow is also reflected in the constant expansion of the storage area, which has more than quadrupled since the start.

The qualityfor added value

Quality enjoys a very high priority in our company. Only if, in addition to our attractive prices, we also control our product quality during development and ensure a consistently high level, can we sustainably satisfy our customers and enjoy long-term success ourselves.  

In order to meet this high standard at all times, we have successfully established our "5 pillar model for quality assurance" in practice over the years.  

This model enables us to develop innovative products that offer our customers the added value they are hoping for.
