Vision and precision: Bertschi Korea lays the groundwork for further growth
Bertschi Korea was founded around a year ago with great ambition and enthusiasm. Since then, it has made impressive strides.
The average monthly volume has increased by more than 80% compared to the time before founding our own subsidiary. Bertschi Korea has established itself as a reliable tank operator among the top five on the local market.
After starting out with four members of staff, the company now employs ten people and has cultivated ties with the biggest chemical companies on the Korean market. In terms of competitiveness on freight and services, we have made a strong impression on the market and have grown rapidly in a very short space of time. Bertschi Korea handles many port-to-port transports and selects the optimal partner through quarterly or monthly tenders. At the same time, we are continuously working to increase the added value of our logistics solutions by developing and offering innovative storage and door-to-door concepts that go beyond pure port-to-port transport.
We started off by holding discussions with various customers who were not yet familiar with our company in order to persuade them of our unique strengths. Thanks to these targeted measures, we were able to conclude several contracts and successfully build up storage business with our customers. One notable example is our collaboration with a major customer. We store products in tank containers at our Bertschi Rotterdam Botlek and Bertschi Tarragona sites and efficiently supply between 10 and 15 local end consumers from there with short delivery times. Although this business has only been in existence for less than a year, we are already receiving consistently excellent feedback from our customers.
The Bertschi Group has been providing logistics services for major customers in Europe for decades through business units such as BU Liquids, among others. This extensive experience often gives us a decisive advantage in the global business context. One of our key account customers worked for several years to become a raw materials supplier to a major customer in Europe and was finally awarded the supply contract in 2025. To ensure a stable and reliable supply, the customer opted for a storage solution. It was particularly impressed by our many years of expertise in providing logistics for this customer and entrusted us with more than half of the contract volume.
Due to the special requirements of this business model, we have a long-term contract and use specially designed equipment, which will enable us to provide the service in a sustainable manner over the entire term of the contract.
European customers often use specialised unloading systems that do not conform to global standards. Thanks to our extensive experience in logistics for these customers, we are able to offer customised solutions and further reinforce our reputation as a reliable partner. Despite our brief company history, Bertschi Korea has already established itself as an important player in the market and has continued to develop. And we will carry on pursuing vigorous growth, further expanding our market share and asserting our unique strengths in a highly competitive environment.
