What Schöni Transport does

Schöni Transport AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss transport and logistics company founded in 1969 and headquartered at Neue Industriestrasse 1 in Rothrist. It operates an integrated multi-modal service platform covering national Switzerland road transport (non-refrigerated, refrigerated/deep-frozen, beverage, crane, and bulk goods), international road transport with customs clearance, air and sea freight, warehouse logistics, and e-commerce fulfillment, supported by an in-house vehicle workshop branded Easytrucks and an on-site driver canteen (Taverna del Camionista). The customer base is B2B enterprise, with named accounts including Rivella Group (beverages, partnership since 2017 and now executed with a dedicated EV fleet), M-Industrie/Migros (retail/food intralogistics), Buderus Heiztechnik AG (industrial heating), and Beurer Schweiz AG (healthcare products).

The company's technology stack is anchored by battery-electric long-haul tractors (15 in service by January 2026, including the first Renault E-Tech T deployed in Europe in 2024) and a Swiss-premiere deployment of Trailer Dynamics E-Trailer electrified trailer technology on a daily Rothrist-to-Milan scheduled service launched in April 2026. A rooftop photovoltaic installation at the Rothrist logistics center powers on-site EV charging, supporting a stated target of 80% CO2-neutral national transport via own measures by end-2025. Customer-facing digital tools are limited to a real-time Track & Trace visibility system and the my.schoeni online portal; pricing is quote-based on route, weight, cargo type, and service line and is not publicly disclosed.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting corporate accounts, supplemented by a website quote-request flow for mid-market inbound leads, with multi-language (DE/FR/IT) website presence and direct sales for international lanes. Schöni is led by owner Daniel Schöni and operates as a family business with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds; revenue, fleet utilisation, and unit economics are not publicly disclosed.
