Papyrus Switzerland and Planzer combine logistics expertise
Papyrus is strengthening its market position through a strategic partnership with Planzer Transport. Starting in January 2026, Planzer will take over Papyrus Switzerland’s dispatch and driving staff as well as its vehicles, while employees and distribution locations will remain unchanged.
Papyrus Switzerland is taking an important step towards securing its service quality in the long term. The company has entered into a strategic partnership with Planzer Transport, in which two strong partners combine their expertise in logistics and distribution.
"Our aim is to be a reliable, cooperative and competitive business partner for our customers. In Planzer, we have found a partner who shares our values and enables us to secure and expand our service level in the long term," explains André Mohler, Sales Director Print at Papyrus Switzerland.
The agreement stipulates that Planzer will take over the dispatching and driving staff as well as the vehicles from Papyrus Switzerland as of January 1, 2026. The established distribution locations in Dintikon, St. Gallen and Bern will remain in place and deliveries will be carried out as usual.
"We are very much looking forward to working even more closely with Papyrus Switzerland. Together we can exploit synergies, further increase the quality of service throughout Switzerland and continue to perfect the quality of distribution," says Severin Baer, member of the Board of Directors and member of Planzer's Executive Board.
The partnership underscores the two companies' shared ambition to continuously optimize distribution quality and develop further for a successful future.
