First Bertschi subsidiary celebrates 40 years


The first Bertschi subsidiary has celebrated its 40th anniversary. Bertschi Transport GmbH Cologne plays an important role in the intermodal transport chain and can look back with satisfaction on a successful development since its founding.  

Founded in 1977, and then under the name of Bertschi Transport GmbH Düsseldorf, the company opened an operating facility in the recently built intermodal terminal ‘Köln-Eiffeltor’ and procured German trucks for the pre- and on carriage to this terminal.

Since then the branch has grown steadily, carrying out feeder traffic for the combined transport between road and rail. Today more than 150 employees and 70 trucks execute 25,000 transport orders per year.

A terminal for handling and storage of containers, a tank cleaning station as well as a truck repair facility are at the site.

Since this first branch out, the Bertschi Group has developed into a global logistics player with more than 60 subsidiaries in 38 countries. The branch in Cologne will always stay the first one and therefore occupies a special place in the history of the company.
