What's new in the Bertschi Group?

We are proud to congratulate our apprentices on successfully completing their apprenticeship. We wish them all the best and much success for the future!

The Joint Venture Aldrees-Bertschi container terminal in Saudi Arabia handles the logistics processes of our global and Middle Eastern clients. Our staff on-site operate as expert logistics professionals, handling the challenging requirements of our customers, through efficient implementation, trainings, and a special ability to withstand the harsh conditions of a terminal located in the middle of a desert.

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.

The challenges of the past two years have brought on a worsened driver-shortage for the transport industry in Europe. With Bertschi's focus on intermodal rail transport, our supply chains remain strong despite the difficulties.
