Profile
Michael Dronia is the founder and Managing Director of DG Compliance GmbH. Before founding the company, he spent over 20 years leading branch locations, customs and quality management, and the Life Science and Healthcare division at internationally active freight forwarding and logistics companies.
His approach to dangerous goods compliance is therefore anything but theoretical: he has built dangerous goods management from the ground up, integrated customs interfaces and IT systems during company acquisitions, and developed multimodal logistics solutions for clients. This operational experience is the foundation of the work at DG Compliance GmbH.
Collaboration & continuity
Markus Steinhauer, a long-standing dangerous goods expert at SafeConsult AG, provided professional guidance to Michael Dronia while he built up his own practice, sharing important experience from his many years of consulting.
Today, DG Compliance GmbH and the SafeConsult AG team maintain a close, contractually regulated collaboration. Alongside continuous professional exchange, it also includes mutual cover during holidays and other absences.
This connects many years of experience and accumulated expertise in dangerous goods consulting with DG Compliance GmbH's own independent, multimodal approach.
