What's new in the Bertschi Group?

Antwerp, Belgium — Bertschi Group, market leader in intermodal chemical logistics, announces that operations have started at the newly completed Antwerp Zomerweg Terminal (AZT). Strategically located in Europe’s largest integrated chemical cluster, the terminal will be focusing on the storage of Dangerous Goods (DG) and non-DG products in Tank Containers and Trimodal Services by rail, barge and truck.

As the demand for sustainable energy solutions accelerates, the decarbonized chemicals market is set to grow rapidly. Key players in this transformation include Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and other biofuels.

October 2024 – The Bertschi Group has proudly received its 1,500th DAF ever. This New Generation DAF 480 FT 4x2 tractor joins the international Bertschi fleet, ensuring timely chemical distribution across Europe.

As a leader in intermodal logistics, Bertschi knows that our employees - whether drivers, technical staff or office personnel - are our most valuable asset. Workplace safety is a core value that shapes our daily operations. In the field of chemical logistics, where the handling of sensitive substances involves significant risks, the importance of high safety standards is crucial requiring the highest levels of care and attention.

Safety doesn't end when the working day is over and the computer is switched off. It's a mindset that extends far beyond our desks and offices. Many people tend to associate safety risks with job sites or high-risk environments, but the truth is that risks can arise in everyday situations, both at work and at home.

October 2024 – The Bertschi Group, market leader in intermodal chemical logistics, celebrates six decades of pioneering work in intermodal logistics. This anniversary coincides timely with the global push for sustainability. Today, intermodal freight transport is an essential means of sustainable and efficient transport for the chemical industry. But when Bertschi first put a chemical road tanker on a train in 1964, it was a groundbreaking innovation in Europe.

Bertschi’s dedication to building and maintaining strong, personal relationships with customers remains central to its approach. By combining state-of-the-art digital tools with a commitment to personalized service, Bertschi ensures logistics operations are both streamlined and responsive, offering the best of innovation and human connection.

Bertschi celebrated 25 years of successful operation at our container terminal G80 in ChemPark Leverkusen, Germany. It was also the ideal occasion to officially announce the implementation of our newly established integrated site logistics concept together with a global key account customer.

We are proud to congratulate our apprentices on the successful apprenticeship certification. For the future we wish them all the best and much success!

We are thrilled to mark a significant milestone – Bertschi NL's 25th anniversary. To commemorate this special occasion, Subsidiary Manager Gian Buehlmann delivered an inspiring speech, reflecting on our journey and future aspirations. We are delighted to share his words with you...
