• Loading / unloading containers
• Palletising
• Customs / transit clearance
• X-Docking or temporary storage in the warehouse
• Pre-carriage by truck / train or on-carriage to your loading ramp

Depending on your needs, Swissterminal either manages the delivery/collection of goods to/from your location or processes your batches directly at our warehouse in Frenkendorf. With live tracking, you stay informed about the status of your shipment during transport.

Our warehouse’s extended cut-off times for distribution and order picking ensure your supply chain can continue to tick like clockwork. Meanwhile, state-of-the-art technologies, a high-quality standard and short communication channels complete our service.

The Break & Make Bulk advantage:

• Fewer empty trips
• More flexibility
• Faster processing
• Relieved storage space
• Lower costs (e.g. detention, transport)
• Reduced CO2 emissions

Break & Make Bulk eliminates empty trips and individual cargo transfers by road – both within Switzerland as well as to and from the seaports. This not only significantly lowers your transport costs, but also reduces your shipping emissions.

What’s more: your empty containers can now be returned to the depot faster, lowering detention costs.
