International logistics juggernaut, Swissterminal, continues building its empire with investment into new products, strategic industry partnerships, and a sustainable vision for the future. The company has come a long way since its founding in 1972, as Chief Executive Officer, Matthias Dischinger, begins:“ At Swissterminal, we now combine deep regional expertise with global reach.

“ Originally founded as a family business, today we are leading the company into its next generation, together with DP World. Being part of the DP World network allows us to offer a broader portfolio of international logistics products while maintaining our local roots and customer-centric mindset.”
Offering a comprehensive range of services, from container handling to port operations, keeps Swissterminal at the forefront of Europe’ s bustling transport industry. As Matthias details:“ Swissterminal provides a wide range of inland terminal services, including container handling, storage, customs clearance, and valueadded logistics services. We also offer integrated logistics solutions that combine terminal operations with intermodal transport and warehousing.
“ In addition, we support customers with standalone transport services – rail and barge in particular. Alongside our container business, our ports in France focus on bulk handling, where we deliver extensive storage and transshipment capabilities.”
Matthias himself has come a long way, too, bringing years of experience to his position at Swissterminal. As he discusses:“ I studied economics in Basel, Switzerland, and later in Freiburg, Germany. After my studies, I gained valuable international experience in logistics and leadership, going on to hold positions in global corporations, and working abroad.
