What Tschudi Logistics does

Tschudi Logistics is a Norway-headquartered multimodal transport solutions provider that coordinates complex project cargo and conventional freight across road, rail, ocean, air, and short-sea modes. Founded in 2006 as part of the Tschudi Group (originally established in 1883), the company specializes in oversized and heavy-lift logistics, beverage logistics with temperature-controlled storage, and end-to-end project management for industrial clients. It serves enterprise customers in energy, pulp and paper, mining, construction, renewable energy (notably offshore wind), maritime, and beverage verticals, with a documented portfolio of more than 50 complex projects including 206-ton Yankee dryer transports, modular hotel shipments to Iceland, rotor sail logistics for Norsepower, and large-scale pulp and energy consignments from China to Finland.

The company's technology foundation is a traditional multimodal coordination platform rather than a digital product: capabilities center on in-house chartering, heavy-lift planning, route engineering for oversize loads, temperature-controlled consolidation in Rotterdam, and dedicated short-sea capacity through its subsidiary Tschudi Lines. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services and freight transaction fees, with quote-based pricing that varies by scope, cargo type, and route. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through regional offices staffed by managing directors in 10+ countries across Scandinavia, the Baltics, Central Europe, China, and Mozambique.

Tschudi Logistics remains privately held by the Tschudi family (currently fourth generation under Felix H. Tschudi) and operates as part of a diversified group that includes eight sister companies spanning shipping, offshore, towage, personnel, and financial services. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, has no publicly disclosed revenue, and has not raised external funding. Recent strategic activity has focused on geographic expansion (Berlin in 2024, Pemba in Mozambique), new product lines (Tschudi Lines short-sea operations launched 2021), and a minority co-investment in the Norwegian digital freight platform Swipload.
