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.

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!

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.

We cordially invite you to visit us at Transport Logistic in Shanghai this June.

Just a few months after the opening of our new hub in Zhangjiagang, China, Bertschi started the year with two significant moves that further expand our presence in key Asian markets. Our joint venture with the Uyeno Group in Tokyo and the opening of Bertschi Seoul allow us to deepen our presence and offer tailored solutions for the Japanese and Korean market.
