What Käppeli Logistik Sargans does

Käppeli Logistik AG is a privately held Swiss multi-service logistics company headquartered in Sargans, Switzerland. The company operates a diversified fleet of commercial vehicles delivering standard freight transport, special and oversized transport, mobile crane operations, specialized applications (RSP suction excavation), winter maintenance, commercial vehicle rental, and container/skip services primarily to construction companies, industrial and manufacturing facilities, and municipalities across Switzerland. Service execution is asset-based, with the fleet including Scania V8 trucks, Mercedes vehicles, RSP suction excavators, mobile crane vehicles, and notably an electric truck supplied by Futuricum with documented CO2 savings, signaling a sustainability-led positioning.

The company is organized around a portfolio of proprietary sub-brands — KRANTRUP (crane trucks), BOX (depot and storage containers), FREEWAY (transport escort and convoy services), and LKW-Werkstatt (truck workshop) — in addition to two digital platforms, driv-e (electric mobility / e-truck operations) and Log-o (logistics operations). It holds ISO certification for quality management and is led by Geschäftsführer Mike Ritter, who also oversees sustainability, consulting and sales, and projects. There is no publicly disclosed revenue, founding date, or external investor backing.

Revenue is generated through B2B service fees on a quote-based pricing model, with direct client relationships as the primary go-to-market. The company uses organic social media (Instagram), an annual open-house community event (E-Motion Day), and direct outreach by the management team to acquire and retain customers, with no intermediaries, digital marketplaces, or public pricing channels. Notably, no revenue figures, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no AI capabilities are disclosed in the available source material.
