Morand Transporte

What Morand Transporte does

Morand Transporte AG is a Swiss family-owned logistics and transportation company founded in 1985 and formally incorporated in 1988, headquartered in Münchenbuchsee (Canton of Bern). The company operates across five service lines: private and business moving (Umzüge), piece goods freight transport (Stückgut), warehouse and container storage (Lagerlogistik), trade show logistics (Messelogistik), and event catering equipment rental (Festwirtschaftsartikel). It is the official partner of BERNEXPO AG for empty container logistics and exhibition material transport across Switzerland, and serves named clients including Regionalspital Emmental.

The operating model is asset-heavy: a fleet of 20+ vehicles (including crane-equipped trucks and two moving lifts), two warehouse halls in Lätti with crane facilities, and a commercial conveyor-belt dishwashing system for event equipment. Pricing is project-based (quote-on-request) for moving, transport, and trade show services; unit-based for event equipment rental; and subscription/recurring for storage. The company is Swiss Movers Association (SMA) certified and participates in the QualyDrive environmental driving program, with an Environmental Certificate awarded in 2023.

The company is owned and led by Jürg Morand (Geschäftsführer), who has run the firm since 1986 following his father Marcel's death. It employs 27 staff and operates exclusively in Switzerland, with primary servicing in the Bern region. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no external investors, subsidiaries, or public market presence.

Broad incumbents

• AGS Worldwide Movers: International moving and relocation company serving private, corporate, and government clients worldwide including Switzerland. Comparable in the household-goods moving and storage core capability, competing on cross-border moves while Morand focuses domestically.
• Kühne+Nagel International AG: Swiss-headquartered global logistics giant operating in freight forwarding, contract logistics, and relocations. Comparable as a Swiss-based logistics provider with overlapping capabilities in freight and household goods moving, but at a vastly larger global scale.
• DSV A/S: Global transport and logistics company with strong European road-freight and warehousing operations, including in Switzerland. Comparable in offering general freight and contract logistics, though serving multinational customers at much greater scale than Morand.
• Crown Worldwide Group: Global relocation and moving services company with Swiss operations covering household goods moves, corporate relocations, and storage. Comparable as a household/office goods mover serving enterprise and private customers, though at international scale.

Direct peers

• Frey + Cie Transporte AG: Swiss regional transporter offering moving, freight, and logistics services from a multi-decade family-run base. Closely comparable to Morand in operating model, service portfolio, and customer segments, serving as a head-to-head regional competitor.

• Galliker Transport AG: Swiss family-owned logistics and transport firm with national coverage in piece goods, warehousing, and distribution. Comparable to Morand in operating model — private Swiss transporter with own fleet and warehouse infrastructure — but at significantly larger scale.
• Planzer Transport AG: Swiss asset-based logistics and transport company offering freight, warehousing, moving, and supply-chain services across Switzerland. Comparable to Morand as a domestic Swiss operator with own fleet, multi-service portfolio, and similar customer segments (B2B logistics + event/private moves).
• Camion Transport AG: Swiss freight and logistics company operating national and European groupage, part- and full-load services with own fleet and terminals. Comparable to Morand as a Swiss road-freight operator with own infrastructure, though specializing more heavily in line-haul freight than household moves.

Emerging players

• Wincasa AG: Swiss property management arm of Swiss Prime Site offering facility and relocation services for commercial real estate. Comparable in addressing corporate relocation/moving demand in Switzerland, though primarily property-services-led rather than asset-based transport-led.
