The company H.C.A. Collection Handels GmbH

Dear customers,

When experience, in-depth market knowledge, good ideas and a motivated team come together, some call it luck and others wishful thinking... HCA has been combining all components for many years and has been successful on the market with this excellent mix for 33 years.

In 1991, my mother Elisabeth Ghalamkarizadeh "on the side" and with a great deal of courage founded HCA, also known to many as the Hans Christian Andersen Collection. What started on a small scale has now become a tradition-conscious, successful and stable company. The range has grown steadily.

Trust in us and the high quality of our products! I hope you enjoy browsing our website.

Warm greetings from Bargteheide
Ahmad Ghalamkarizadeh

We are traditional & trendy.

HCA stands for a second-generation family business based in Northern Germany. The company HCA was created in 1991 out of a hobby whim of the founder, Elisabeth Ghalamkarizadeh. In 2008, HCA was taken over by her youngest son, Ahmad Ghalamkarizadeh.

It all started with the romantic, nostalgic flower painting from the 18th & 19th century, whose motifs decorate a wide variety of products. Today we present an incredibly wide range of products with over 600 items from different product lines, from stationery and gift items to personal care products.

Our heart is the company's own product development. Not only quality plays a major role here, but also the development and introduction of new products that conquer the market.

We are diverse & attention to detail.

Our products are produced in Germany, Europe and Asia, with the aim of always guaranteeing our customers high quality. We guarantee the requirements of internationally appropriate standards across the board and only work with selected manufacturers in order to meet all conditions and requirements for high-quality products. The love for the products and details should never be neglected at any point.

We are honest & sincere.

Values have played a fundamental role since the company was founded. Responsibility, trust, solidarity, sincerity, honesty and willpower – to name just a few of the values. We approach our customers and partners honestly and sincerely with these values.

We are cooperative and international.

We cooperate internationally, we think globally and we act in partnership – that’s exactly what defines us. Our partner network extends from England to China and is based on decades of experience and trusting cooperation.

We are helpful & warm.

Bearing responsibility as a company, acting in an exemplary manner and showing others a perspective – this is an integral part of HCA. For years we have been supporting local schools, workshops for the disabled and the local fire department in Bargteheide, the company's headquarters.

We are team-oriented & fair.

Our team is unique – that means everyone who works for and with HCA. Whether it’s decades-long collaborations, new customer relationships or project-related collaborations – we’re all in the same boat.
