What Camion Transport does

Camion Transport AG is a Switzerland-headquartered transport and logistics company founded in 1925 and wholly owned by family-controlled parent Jäger Holding SA. Operating exclusively within Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the company runs a vertically integrated platform covering national parcel and general cargo distribution (Stückguttransport), direct part/full-load transport (Centro), overnight express, specialized crane logistics, warehousing, contract logistics, outsourcing, packing/confectioning, and value-added merchandising services. Its customer base is B2B and spans general commerce, retail, healthcare/pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and beverage industries, served through 15 owned branch locations, a fleet of 600 vehicles, and approximately 205,000 m² of storage plus 62,000 m² of transshipment area.

The company's distinctive operational backbone is its Dual Transport System, which combines an overnight rail shuttle network of roughly 130 wagons connecting branches with last-mile road distribution, eliminating the need for transshipment between modes and saving approximately 20,000 kg of CO2 per day. The technology stack is built on a proprietary SAP-based warehouse management system with in-house developed components, supplemented by LogCom (vehicle communication, digital proof of delivery, real-time driver-dispatch linkage), the ETA system (live-traffic-based two-hour delivery window predictions with SMS/email notifications), and PALO 4.0, a paperless transport platform in production since January 2020 that eliminates physical transport documents. Track & Trace visibility is exposed through an SAP-based customer web portal. The group holds a broad certification set: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 14083:2023 (GHG calculation methodology), EN 16258, GDP Swissmedic for pharma, HACCP for food, and Friendly Work Space for occupational health management.

Camion Transport generates revenue through transaction-based fees for transport and crane services, and managed-services contracts for warehousing, outsourcing, contract logistics, and value-added services. Pricing is custom-quoted and not publicly disclosed for core services. The go-to-market is sales-led, executed through the 15 regional branches and supported by an online transport inquiry funnel and customer self-service portal; there is no third-party reseller channel. The company is privately held and has never raised external capital, having grown organically and through a long series of tuck-in acquisitions (notably TDM Servizi SA in 2007 and Cargo Domicile in 1996), with a leadership transition to co-CEOs Michèle Jäger and Samuel Eder effective January 2026.
