What's new in the Bertschi Group?

Our newest and biggest investment, Bertschi Zhangjiagang Liquids Hub, was built on the highest international standards and the best available technology in the field. It was also built right by the Yangtze River Delta, accessing one of the fastest growing and richest regions of East Asia.

Recent months and indeed years have been very challenging for all of us. First the Covid crisis pushed us all to our limits, and now an unnecessary war is filling us with concern and sadness. Particularly in difficult trying times, it’s so wonderful to see Bertschi employees getting involved to make a difference.

As a long-standing leader in European intermodal chemical logistics, Bertschi Group’s best-in-class presence in Europe has built a profound network set up for rail, road, and waterway transportation. This network includes our own truck fleet, train terminals, and logistics hubs for both dry bulk and liquid chemical products.

May 5th 2022 is a big day of celebration for the 50 Bertschi Group team members in China, as well as for the Bertschi staff family around the world – it will mark 10 years since the Business Licence was registered for our first company in China. Bertschi International Freight Forwarding (Shanghai) Co Ltd, was established on May 5th, 2012 – with just 3 team members and a small office in the Xujiahui district of Shanghai.

We have fun! Perhaps some of you optimistically reacted to our April Fool's joke on solar-powered trucks. Unfortunately, such technology is not yet a reality for such high volume vehicles, otherwise, we certainly would be looking into it.

The new year comes with a significant milestone for the Bertschi Group. Fresh from production, the 40,000th Bertschi container ever produced has just been added to the Group’s container fleet. As it embarks on its first journey, on truck, train, and ship, the 40,000th Bertschi container marks an impressive success story of a company which deployed its very first containers back in 1970.

Bertschi achieves sales of CHF 1 billion for first time in 2021

In Switzerland, the "Zukunfstag", or Future Day, is held every year around November time. Kids between the ages of 10 and 12 spend the day in the workplace of a parent, relative, or family friend, to see what it's like working in that particular job.

The pandemic has sent shockwaves through global trade, and particularly so in global maritime freight.

The European Union passed the Green Deal Plan in 2019, aiming for a 90% reduction in greenhouse gases from transport by 2050. Well ahead of this target is Bertschi Group, with its market leading position in sustainable intermodal transport, and further plans and initiatives in climate neutral technology.
