Sieber – your partner for com-prehensive logistics solutions.

Modern logistics solutions now involve more than merely storing

or transporting goods from point A to point B. We at Sieber see

ourselves as a link throughout our customers‘ entire value chain.

This is why we offer one-stop solutions that go far beyond mere

transport services and provide our customers with genuine

added value. Together with our customers and their business

partners, we develop customised concepts and services that

can be integrated into the business processes and enhance the

flow of goods. We call this “the way of logistics”.

In addition to our professional and international calibre, we

are above all characterised by the values of an old-established

family-run enterprise: responsibility, reliability and dedication.

These values are not only upheld by us, but also by our em-

ployees, whose exceptional daily achievements enable our

Consulting and analysis

The start of any collaboration with Sieber is often an all-embrac-

ing analysis of the customer‘s logistics processes. Optimising

these processes and concepts frees up significantly higher

potential than merely wrangling over freight rates. We are

committed to being a fair, personal and competent partner with

our customers and are distinguished by our smart solutions and

individualised concepts that are tailored to the specific require-

ments.

Planning

Sound and careful planning of logistics projects reduces costs

and saves time in the subsequent implementation phase. One of

our tasks as a logistics specialist is to assess the opportunities

and risks of different variations for our customers and to make

the right decisions together with them to ensure their future

success.

Implementation

When carefully implementing projects, our own staff network

works directly with our customer‘s employees thus enabling

the necessary expertise to be developed. Ultimately, complex

projects can only be successfully implemented if all parties

involved team up and join forces. Sieber‘s logistics concepts are

implemented on the basis of our conventional service areas such

as national transports, international freight forwarding,

ocean and airfreight, customs clearance and warehousing.

Depending on the customers‘ needs, we also take new and

innovative approaches such as the “sieber@home concept”,

which even includes such services as home delivery, assembly

and installation of products on site at the ultimate consignee.

As you can see, „the way of logistics” means more than just

transporting goods from point A to point B!

An all-embracing understanding of customised logistics solutions.

It‘s all about teamwork.

sieber@seaLCL, FCL and cross trades by ocean freight

The Sieber Group‘s competent overseas team can ship the

goods that our customers procure and distribute on an LCL

(less than container load), FCL (full container load) as well

as on a project cargo basis to all corners of the world.

Consignments from and to Europe are just as much a part of

our day-to-day routine as global cross-trades. With our shipping

services, we not only serve the main global logistics arteries;

our expertise and network of agents also enable us to move

our customers‘ goods to more exotic destinations – quickly,

competently and reliably.

sieber@skyWhen you need to move goods quickly – airfreight

Sieber flies urgent consignments for its customers from and to

all destinations in the world. Spare parts, machine components

or even toys from China for an upcoming Christmas campaign

are typical goods that are transported by air. Our experienced

global network enables us to offer our customers a complete

door-to-door service for commodity or group airfreight from a

single source.

sieber@road / sieber@railInternational freight forwarding throughout Europe

Our international network of partners guarantees reliable freight

forwarding throughout Europe. We take full responsibility.

loads, depending on your specific requirements, we will always

choose the optimal means of transport, such as combined road

and rail haulage or using our own vehicles. Sieber provides

freight forwarding services that offer customers a genuine

competitive edge on the market; experienced and loyal emplo-

yees know our customers and the challenges they face in their

day-to-day business. Thanks to our efficient and typically

long-standing partners, we can offer customer-oriented solu-

tions from the North Cape to Calabria and from Dublin to Samara.

sieber@customsCustoms clearance services

Thanks to the proximity of its sites to the national borders, the

Sieber Group possesses all the capacity required for clearing

goods through customs. This saves our customers time and

money. The “authorised consignee”, “authorised consignor”

and “public bonded warehouse” customs models allow customs

to be cleared in our own warehouses and offer our customers

yet another benefit. Specialised customs declarations officers

take care of all the necessary border-crossing formalities at the

Sieber Group‘s border customs offices.

warehousing facilities for your products as well as flexible order

picking systems that can be customised to your specific needs.

warehousing logistics services, numerous customers have

realised that the Sieber Group is a profitable alternative to their

own warehousing facilities.

The Sieber Group‘s modern logistics centres are in the Rhine

Valley, around Geneva, in the greater Basel area, in Southern

Switzerland and in the Lucerne and Berne regions as well as

in Switzerland‘s business hub Zurich. This means that Sieber is

never far from its customers, thus enabling outstanding local

distribution services throughout Switzerland.

service with short delivery times. But this is not just the case in

Switzerland. We offer full local distributions services throughout

Austria from our Lauterach facility. Supported by an integrated

“Collaborative Networking” or “Supply Chain Management”

are hot topics nowadays. Only those able to satisfy the diverse

requirements of logistics processes and the movement of goods

are reliable business partners. Thanks to state-of-the-art IT and

a uniform Track and Trace system, the Sieber Group is precisely

that.

Various systems enable us to visualise the flow of goods for

ourselves and for our customers. With full system integration,

we can process all individual operations digitally – from the

placing of orders by the customer and simple procedural steps

to the invoicing. This process includes both our own vehicles

as well as our partners.

On the one hand, being network capable means being able to

work together with a wide range of different companies.

However, it also entails the ability to manage the flow of supply

chain information and positively influence processes. This is

something we can do. Information management is a central topic

in modern logistics. We invest in corresponding technologies in

order to be able to satisfy current and future trends.

Using state-of-the-art technology.

The Sieber Group operates according to economic criteria for your and our own benefit.

However, sustainability doesn‘t just involve pursuing financial goals, but also entails factoring

employees and the environment into every-day decision-making and concept-development

processes.

We aspire to act sustainably in every aspect of our day-to-day work. By focusing consistently

on the best possible planning, it is our aim to offer our customers solutions that offer them

sustainable benefits.

Our team operates according to a jointly observed corporate culture. We reduced emissions

created in the course of our daily work with the aid of state-of-the-art technologies and

consistent training.

To us, sustainability means achieving long-term success with our customers, guaranteeing

attractive jobs for our employees and keeping the environmental impact of our operations as

small as possible, whether by road, by air, by water or by rail. As a family-run company,

we stand by our traditional values and our responsibility.

Sustainability – for today and tomorrow.

Sieber Transport AG was founded by Paul and Erich Sieber in 1975. The company very soon

evolved into a comprehensive logistics service provider.

The establishment of the first branch in the Austrian town of Lauterach in 1996 marked the begin-

ning of the company‘s international expansion. The geographic expansion throughout Switzerland

started in 1998 with the acquisition of the western Swiss logistics company Francey Transports

headquartered in Villeneuve and with sites in Bex and Allaman. Haldemann + Co. AG domiciled in

Pratteln, in the border triangle around Basel, was taken over and successfully integrated into the

Sieber Group in 2003. At the same time, Sieber continuously expanded its network of self-owned

sites in Switzerland adding branches in Zurich-Dietikon, Lugano-Bedano, Chiasso-Balerna, Widnau,

Bern-Stettlen and in Austria with the Wolfurt, Klaus and Vienna sites.

Francey Transports and Haldemann + Co AG, which belong to the Sieber Group, were renamed

Sieber in 2011. Since then, all companies have been trading under the strong Sieber brand.

The successful establishment of the innovative “sieber@home” business area in 2011 and new

services including delivery, erection, assembly, order picking, installation, etc. marked a further

milestone in the Sieber Group‘s history.

40 years as a dynamic family – run company.

Strong performance requires an efficient team.

In order to be able to remain so distinctly customer-centred,

we as a company have to be able to depend on our team.

Esteem and mutual respect for all functions in the supply chain

are an integral part of our corporate culture.

At Sieber, each employee is deployed and promoted according

to his abilities. We are always on an equal footing with our staff,

which enables us to master even the most demanding tasks as a

highly efficient team.

Training and further education are an important part of our

commitment to HR development – whether in our in-house

Sieber Academy or within an individual, specialist framework.

We attach particular importance to training our qualified emplo-

yees; especially since they are the cornerstone of our company‘s

future development. We train apprentices in both commercial

and technical professions.

Sieber Academy – by practitioners for practitioners

We don‘t just support our own employees‘ training. The Sieber-

Academy also offers training courses and information events to

external logisticians and drivers. This gives logistics specialists

access to high-quality forklift driver and trucking qualifications.

These training courses are conducted by experienced trainers

and take place in an appropriate, practice-adapted setting.
