Swiss Post Cargo history – from tradition to innovation

Swiss Post Goods Logistics has always adapted its services to economic, social and technological changes. With Swiss Post Cargo, from 2025, we are pooling our regional logistics expertise and strengthening cross-border supply chains – within Switzerland and beyond.

Customer centricity is at the forefront of everything we do. For this reason, the restructuring will take place step by step: we want to continue to focus fully on working for our customers during the transition phase.

Our journey to Swiss Post Cargo

Around the core of PostLogistics Ltd, the company has been making targeted investments in the expansion of its network in Switzerland and abroad ever since the launch of Swiss Post Goods Logistics in 1997. In doing so, the company is opening up new markets close to its customers in its core competency of logistics and transport. In particular as part of the growth strategy “The Swiss Post of tomorrow”, the combined power of a comprehensive, cross-border transport and logistics service was developed, optimally connecting companies in the economically strong regions of our neighbouring countries Germany, France and Italy to the national and international flow of goods. In addition to PostLogistics Ltd, the following companies have been operating under the Swiss Post brand since 1 March 2025:

Bächle Logistics GmbH
