We’re a family! This has been our motto for almost 100 years, ever since our journey began in Gailingen am Rhein, where Hermann Maier founded his own forwarding company. What started with a couple of coal gasification units in the 1920s has gained increasing momentum over the years. We were the first regular forwarder for Bilger und Fahr and welcomed more and more customers and employees over time. In 1957, we relocated from Gailingen to Singen, where almost 30 years later and two streets away we celebrated the start of construction work on what is now our head office. On our journey, we have discovered many new opportunities and adopted various approaches. Our team is now rolling up its sleeves for you in several locations, storing and transporting goods while endeavouring to meet the requirements of every customer.
The 180-strong MAIER team operates on both sides of the German-Swiss border. Be it in Singen, Ramsen or Pfullendorf, everyone plays their part in ensuring that we continue to embrace our family values. So we treat each other with respect, act fairly, help each other, are loyal and openly express our opinions. It goes without saying that we’re on a first-name basis.
