Today, the analysis of innovations no longer aims at technologies but at business models. Consequently, it is no longer products and enterprises which are in competition in wide-ranging sections and industries, but in business models. These developments have prompted General Transport to develop and launch its pioneering Five Star Logistics® business model.

The Five Star Logistics® business model offers three integrated solutions. The first approach aims for modular logistics services, the second allows customized logistics products for the customers’ special needs and requirements, and the third approach offering the platform for sustained contract logistics (3PL) with dynamic networking and all relevant value added services. We take the commitments arising from these approaches very seriously, as shown by our customers who have rated our logistics services “excellent” in terms of innovation and problem solving.

Established in 1947, General Transport AG is today a global, independent and family-owned logistics enterprise headquartered in Basel, Switzerland (see also Imprint). Working with partner firms on every continent, General Transport is part of a global network with over 28,000 people in 107 countries.

General Transport Switzerland sees itself as the extended workbench for foreign trade. The core offerings in Five Star Logistics® are the business divisions Industrial Plant Logistics, Logistics for fragile and high-value Capital Goods, Worldwide Air Freight, Worldwide Ocean Freight, European Road & Rail Logistics including Inland Waterways, Event Logistics, Relief Supply Logistics and 3PL Contract Logistics.
