What's new in the Bertschi Group?

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.

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...

The Bertschi Customer Portal opens the door to the world of logistics for our customers, allowing them to manage their shipments easily and efficiently thanks to numerous innovative features. The introduction of the automatic ETA notification system in August 2023 marks an important milestone in Bertschi's digital transformation. This system not only optimizes internal communication, but also offers customization options to meet the different needs of our customers.

As part of a consortium of 10 members from the chemical and chemical logistics industry, Bertschi is a co-initiator of 'Women in Logistics (WIL)', the first industry-wide initiative to promote gender diversity and inclusion in the traditionally male-dominated logistics industry. Women in Logistics aims to drive meaningful change and promote an inclusive and diverse logistics industry through collaboration beyond competition.

Amongst the current threats to our industry, we can point out reduction of volume, costs increase, and price pressure from our customers. Yet again, challenging times carry opportunities and set the grounds for creative solutions.
