    When we realized that our service was being well-received beyond the canton's borders and we were sending more and more parcels to Zurich, we took the next step and opened our first Zurich branch.

    Thanks to the fantastic collaboration with Ingenodata in Basel, we were finally able to realize our dream of having our own store. Our headquarters there, at Güterstrasse 133, is still located today.
