From a one-man business to a strong partner
A traditionally run family business based in Kuppenheim, in haulage for 100 years. Punctual, dependable and with our own fleet.
Our story
For many decades, our traditionally run family business has been known as a reliable, punctual, high-quality service provider. We started out as a small one-man coal and briquette business; today, with our expanded fleet, we work in the region and beyond.
Our customers come to us first for all types of haulage. Whether we deliver or take material away for you, no job is off limits. From bulk materials to waste, every job is carried out promptly, on time and to a professional standard.
Thanks to our staff’s many years of experience, you have a partner you can rely on 100 per cent.
