Baechler Transports-Pompage-Services

What Baechler Transports-Pompage-Services does

Baechler Transports-Pompage-Services SARL is a family-owned Swiss transport and waste-management company headquartered at Route du Petit-Moncor 7, CH-1752 Villars-sur-Glâne in the canton of Fribourg. Founded in 1951 by Henri Baechler with a single 1937 Chevrolet truck, the business now operates four integrated service lines: construction site transport (Transports de chantier), truck-crane lifting services across 22, 66 and 92 t/m capacity classes, road transport using semi-trailers, and a service/waste division that supplies containers from 1.5 to 40 cubic meters and processes waste through approved sorting centers. Its current legal form dates to a 2010 fusion of three Baechler family companies (Henri Baechler & Fils SA, Transports Michel Baechler & Fils SA, and a pumping/waste entity), and it relocated to its present Villars-sur-Glâne facility in 2014.

The operating model is asset-heavy and transactional rather than software- or subscription-driven. Core technology consists of a diversified fleet of heavy transport and lifting equipment (truck cranes at three capacity tiers, construction trucks, semi-trailers, multi-lifts, multi-benne collection vehicles, light utility vans and trailers) plus the waste container inventory, all dispatched through dedicated phone lines and email addresses per service category. A separate sub-brand, BAECHLER RACING, operates a public 24/7 SP95 fuel station at the same Villars-sur-Glâne site. There are no public AI/ML, API, SDK or mobile-app surfaces; the technology stack is mechanical and operational rather than digital.

Revenue is generated entirely from transaction-based fees: project-based construction transport and crane hire, semi-trailer road haulage, container rental and waste disposal, light utility vehicle rental, and retail fuel sales. The go-to-market is direct, sales-led, serving a concentrated regional base of construction firms, local municipalities and SMBs across Fribourg. Pricing is contact-based and not publicly disclosed. No external institutional capital, parent company, or public ticker is present; the firm is privately held by the Baechler family.
