Swissterminal celebrates half a century
Swissterminal, an international integrated logistics provider headquartered in Frenkendorf near Basel and with locations in Switzerland and France, is celebrating five decades of operations.
On 1 February 1972, when Alex Mayer founded Container Depot – the forerunner for today’s Swissterminal – no one could have imagined what lay ahead. Starting out with an empty depot, a single container and a caravan that served as an office, Mayer may not have had much, but he did have a vision: His idea was to create more efficient trade solutions, driven by a strong commitment to customers.
"This vision has characterised our business over the last 50 years, just like the Mayer family, which has remained the majority owner to this very day," Roman Mayer says. The son of Alex Mayer is the company’s current chairman of the board & CEO. (ah)
