Bertschi striving to expand its position in the chemicals logistics market

Bertschi AG felt the consequences of the Euro-crisis last year and counts on expansion in Russia, Turkey and overseas in 2013
 
The internationally operating transport and logistics enterprise Bertschi AG headquartered in Dürrenäsch, Switzerland, wants to expand its leading position in the chemical logistics market in 2013. “Through top quality and further internal optimisations we want to gain profit for future investments also in the current difficult environment of fierce competition and a strong Swiss Franc. We want to deepen relations to our customers and win new clients through innovative, sustainable logistics solutions“, CEO Hans-Jörg Bertschi said on the traditional employees meeting of the company.
 
2012 had been a year of global networking for Bertschi. Founding subsidiaries in Houston (USA), Dubai (UAE) and Shanghai (China) the company has successfully started to establish a global network. This included the start of operation of two more rail terminals in Tarragona (Spain) and Helsinki (Finland). “Thanks to these investments more transportations shall be shifted to the railway in the future, thereby saving resources and easing the burden on the environment. Thus Bertschi emphasises once again on its leading role in multimodal transport and logistics solutions for the chemical industry“, said Hans-Jörg Bertschi.
 
From the economic point of view, in 2012 the enterprise felt the consequences of the Euro-crisis and recession in the Euro zone in the form of declining order volumes and turnover. “Nevertheless we were able to compete in the market and develop further thanks to our innovative logistics solutions“, stated Hans-Jörg Bertschi in the meeting. Bertschi AG has currently a staff of more than 2,200 employees at 44 locations in 26 European countries as well as three new overseas locations.
