Indermühle Group

What Indermühle Group does

Indermühle Gruppe AG is a privately held, third-generation Swiss family-owned transportation and logistics group headquartered in Rekingen (Canton Aargau), with additional operating locations in Siggenthal-Station and Wölflinswil. The group operates three core divisions under wholly owned subsidiaries: Indermühle Logistik AG provides specialized transport of hazardous and special cargo including chemicals, gases, mineral oils, aviation fuels, radioactive substances, and homecare products, alongside intermodal combined transport and ADR-compliant storage (classes 1-9 excluding class 7) at an integrated 40-container hazardous goods basin; Indermühle Bus AG runs coach travel, barrier-free travel for mobility-impaired passengers, school transport, public transport routes, rail-replacement services, and bus charter; and Indermühle Nutzfahrzeuge AG operates an authorized commercial vehicle workshop for MAN Truck & Bus and Renault Trucks, offering repair, maintenance, diagnostics, ADR tank maintenance, official vehicle inspections, spare parts, and an on-site fuel station.

The business is asset-heavy and infrastructure-intensive, anchored by the group's co-ownership of the Hochrhein Container Terminal for intermodal pre-/post-haulage to rail near the Zurich and Basel economic centers, and by the joint co-founding (in 2002 with four Aargau coach companies) of Carmäleon Reisen AG as an over-regional coach travel agency. The go-to-market is sales-led and trust-based: the company serves industrial/chemical customers requiring ADR-compliant transport, public transport authorities via tendered routes, schools, and fleet operators needing OEM-authorized maintenance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is built on customized quotes per service scope. A generational leadership change at Indermühle Nutzfahrzeuge AG was announced in 2025, and the group has publicly signaled forward-looking interest in hydrogen as an alternative truck fuel. The company has 101-250 employees, has been operating since 1953, and serves only the Swiss market with no global footprint claims.
