here the story…..
Birthday of one global family

 

27th June 2025,  70th Birthday of one global family

 Landlocked in and around the alps, Switzerland had to reach out beyond its borders for survival. The Swiss economic success always was based on vision, innovation and pioneers who did not shy away from taking risks. In this spirit, Swissness in freight forwarding grew into  new dimensions. Given birth in Basel,  27th June 1955 by a few enthusiastic young entrepreneurs under the leadership of Ruedi Reisdorf and today a global family of over 2500 passionate logistics experts driven by the same pioneering   spirit, organized in  155 offices on all continents. Well maybe not in the Antarctic, yet working in over 50 countries. Swissness as such no more, but the Swiss spirit, Swiss values still very much alive and driving force.
