What Andrey Group does

Andrey Group SA is a privately held Swiss transport, logistics, and environmental services group headquartered in Le Mouret, Canton Fribourg, founded in 1994 by Fernand Andrey. The group operates through four integrated service divisions: Chantier (construction site transport including tippers, concrete mixers/pumps, and machine transport); Route et Levage (road transport, crane services from 16 mt to 92 mt, special/oversized loads, and industrial relocations); Déchets et Recyclage (bin service, waste sorting center in Bonnefontaine-Le Mouret, municipal waste collection, and recycling); and Logistique et Stockage (10,000 m² of covered warehouse with cranes). Subsidiary structure comprises Andrey Transports SA (founding entity), Eggertswyler Transports SA (merged 2005), and Gevisier Transports Sàrl (acquired 2006), with a strategic collaboration with Despond SA in Bulle since 2006.

The group serves Swiss municipalities and communes (waste collection, recycling, winter service, street cleaning), regional construction firms (site transport, concrete delivery, crane hire), and industrial clients (machinery relocation, special transport), with a smaller segment of private individuals and businesses using warehouse storage and mobile WC rentals (200+ units). Revenue is generated through professional services contracts, quote-based pricing, equipment rental, and commodity sales (gravel, sand, recycled concrete, wood chips). Distribution is entirely direct-to-customer via multiple dedicated phone lines and department-specific email addresses; there is no channel partner or formal sales team, and acquisition relies on regional reputation and existing client relationships.

The fleet is the core technology asset: 5 crane trucks, 4- and 5-axle concrete mixers, mixer-pumps with up to 42 m reach, moving floor and covered trailers, tipper, and thermal semi-trailers, plus sweepers, waste collection vehicles, and an in-house maintenance workshop. Onboard weighing systems support transparent billing for waste services. Marketing is limited to a bilingual French/German website, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The company employs approximately 190 people, is founder-family controlled with no institutional investment, and operates exclusively in Switzerland.

Direct peers

• KIBAG: Swiss integrated construction materials, transport, and recycling group with similar fleet-based operations including crane services, gravel/sand supply, and waste management. Comparable in scale, regional focus, and multi-service structure to Andrey Group.
• Marti AG: Major Swiss construction group with significant transport, crane, and material handling capabilities. Marti operates a comparable fleet and bidding for similar municipal and construction contracts in the Swiss market.
• Kühni: Swiss regional player offering transport, timber, biomass, and recycling services. Kühni's multi-divisional structure and regional focus in the Bern region parallel Andrey Group's Fribourg-anchored operations.
• Bertschi AG: Swiss-headquartered specialty transport and logistics company with a strong silo, container, and bulk transport fleet. Comparable in its fleet-based service model and focus on specialized transport rather than general freight.

Broad incumbents

• Galliker Transport & Logistics: Established Swiss national logistics and transport group with a broader national footprint and significant fleet. Comparable in transport activities but operates at a larger scale and broader geographic scope than Andrey Group.
• Planzer: One of Switzerland's largest logistics and transport groups with parcel, freight, and waste logistics services. Operates nationally and has a broader scope than Andrey Group; overlaps in transport and waste/packaging routing.
• Remondis: One of Europe's largest privately-held waste management and recycling companies, with operations in Switzerland. Broad incumbent with a much wider service portfolio and geographic reach than Andrey Group; a credible competitor for municipal contracts.
• SUEZ Recycling and Recovery: Global waste management and resource recovery company with Swiss presence. SUEZ competes actively for municipal collection and recycling contracts and represents a structural competitor for mid-sized regional players.
• Veolia: International environmental services group with significant Swiss operations in waste collection, recycling, and environmental services. A large, capital-rich competitor that can bid aggressively for municipal and industrial contracts.

Regional players

• Despond SA: Fribourg-based Bulle-anchored transport and construction services partner of Andrey Group since 2006. Operates in the same regional market with overlapping service lines, making it a direct local competitor as well as a strategic partner.
