What Calanda Logistik does

Calanda Logistik AG is a regional Swiss heavy-transport and logistics services provider headquartered in Chur, canton of Graubünden, and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of GRIBAG AG. The company runs a fleet of approximately 50 heavy vehicles and employs more than 40 staff plus apprentices. Its operational lineage traces to Tschudy AG, founded around 1994–1995 and absorbed into the Calanda Gruppe via acquisition in 2015; Calanda Logistik AG itself sits inside the holding structure created when GRIBAG AG was formed on January 1, 2025 through the merger of Calanda Holding AG and Griston Holding AG.

The service portfolio covers crane operations with lifting capacity up to 300 tonnes, special and oversized transport, container rental and haulage (Mulden from 1 m³ to 38 m³), tipper trucks and concrete mixers, energy-sector logistics including cable pulling and transformer-station moves, and winter road services such as snow clearance and gritting. Customers span regional construction firms, municipal and cantonal public-sector clients (notably the City and Canton of Chur for winter services), utilities and other energy-sector counterparties, and private households using container rental and waste services.

The business model is service-based B2B and B2G, with revenue earned per crane lift, per special-transport job, per container rental, and per cubic metre of material hauled; the go-to-market is regionally concentrated within Graubünden and driven by long-standing relationships and certified-crane / special-transport permits. No public revenue or profitability figures are disclosed, and there is no indication of AI, software, or digital-platform capability; competitive advantage is grounded in physical fleet, regulatory permits, Alpine-region distribution, and integration with Griston aggregates/concrete inside the GRIBAG AG group.
