When things suddenly need to happen quickly, we're there.

We organize express shipments, special deliveries, and time-sensitive goods without any detours – quickly, independently, and reliably. Because for us, an emergency is not an exception, but part of the plan.
♻️ Reliable & sustainable transport
The majority of our transports are handled by our own fleet – reliably, flexibly, and independently. Wherever possible and sensible, we also rely on rail to reduce road congestion and emissions. In this way, we combine corporate responsibility with practical sustainability – for the benefit of our customers and our environment.
Sustainable transport
with combined transport
In combined transport, we focus on rail as an environmentally friendly alternative to road transport alone. This reduces your emissions, relieves pressure on the transport network, and simultaneously offers a reliable solution for predictable, cost-effective transport – efficient and throughout Europe.

From generation to generation at Schweitzer
Our roots go back to 1966 – when our grandfather laid the foundation for the Schweitzer forwarding company. At that time, he was a sawmill foreman in the Swabian Forest – down-to-earth, forward-thinking, and with clear values: reliability, diligence, and entrepreneurial responsibility. This attitude still shapes us today.
