About GTRD
What We Do
We provide independent brands with the specialist support they need to achieve their full potential in travel retail.
Our commitment to you
In the areas of consulting and sales, we offer you the competent support you need to develop your travel retail/duty free brand and help you achieve your goals.
TRAVEL RETAIL – THE WORLD´S MOST TRULY GLOBAL BUSINESS
In the long term, the number of travellers worldwide is expected to continue to rise. This also increases sales opportunities. But not only at airports. Growth is also possible almost everywhere in the cruise and ferry industry, in the diplomatic service and in border and downtown shops.
In addition, the travel retail sector is considered the image sales channel par excellence. Many brand owners want to see their top brands represented in this channel. At the same time, the shelf space is nowhere as limited and therefore expensive as in the travel retail sector. This places special demands on brands that want to be successful.
HAUKE MARQUARDT
I founded GTRD in 2013 specifically to provide support to independent brands that felt they were not achieving their full potential in Travel Retail. I have now been working in what I call „the most exciting and only truly global distribution channel“ for over 25 years, supported by my team.
As the pressure on independent brands that are not part of multinational corporations increases, we give your brand a voice.

Specialist Support
The travel retail sector is growing – not only in terms of opportunities, but also in terms of complexity. Retailers are increasingly operating globally – and are placing ever higher demands on their suppliers.
If you have not yet reached the scale to run your own travel retail department cost-effectively to provide a single point of contact for globally operating retailers, as is increasingly required, GTRD can be the link between you and the retailer – either as a distributor with a 360 ° approach or as a consultant.
Distribution
As a distributor or agent, we fully manage your brand to make your travel retail business a success.
Our service includes everything from analysing your potential and identifying opportunities to implementing strategies and logistics.
Consultancy
If you have questions about a specific travel retail topic, GTRD is the right partner for you.
