Lagerhäuser Aarau AG

What Lagerhäuser Aarau AG does

Lagerhäuser Aarau AG is a privately held Swiss logistics company (Aktiengesellschaft) headquartered in Aarau with operational sites in Schafisheim, Spreitenbach, and Hunzenschwil. Founded in 1873 and family-owned, the company offers integrated logistics services through six interconnected service lines: Logistik (warehousing with 120,000 pallet positions), Transport (fleet of 50+ trucks), Co-Packing (custom packaging), Zoll (customs clearance), Internationale Spedition (international freight forwarding), and Umzug (moving services). It sells these services on a contract basis to enterprises, mid-market firms, SMBs, and startups across four primary verticals: Food, Nearfood, Industrie, and Pharma.

The company operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market with no publicly disclosed pricing; quoting is handled through a dedicated sales/marketing contact channel. It maintains a Salesforce-based customer portal (MyLagerhäuser) for direct client access to logistics operations. Its competitive positioning rests on being a one-stop-shop for end-to-end supply chain needs, supported by a deep certification stack covering quality (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), food safety (FSSC 22000), organic handling (BIO Inspecta), ethical trade (SMETA), and pharmaceutical distribution (GDP Swissmedic). In June 2026 it received the Lean & Green 2-Star Award for achieving over 30% CO2 reduction over four years.

The business is operated by roughly 350 employees and remains independent with no parent company, no external funding rounds, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The model is a traditional asset-heavy Swiss 3PL with logistics real estate, fleet ownership, and certified regulated-vertical capability as its primary economic engines. No AI, ML, or proprietary technology platform beyond the customer portal is referenced in any source.
