Market leader in Swiss railfreight business
SBB Cargo transports goods for its customers by rail. The company operates in Switzerland and connects industrial centres in Germany and northern Italy. Quality, safety and reliability are the attributes that enable SBB Cargo to compete successfully with other rail and road transport companies.

In Switzerland SBB Cargo is the market leader in rail freight. SBB Cargo operates a comprehensive network for its customers, with 323 delivery points. In addition it serves its customers with 200 flexible transport concepts extending beyond the basic network. With its range of tailor-made services, SBB Cargo can deliver individual wagons to the customer’s siding, provide rapid overnight freight transport, or haul bulk goods on "block trains". SBB Cargo also offers reliable transport services to customers wishing to import or export goods.

SBB Cargo applies an end-to-end freight handling philosophy throughout the European North-South corridor. Customers thus have a single partner whom they can always rely on. SBB Cargo is the first rail company to have established subsidiaries in Germany and Italy. SBB Cargo Deutschland (based in Duisburg) and SBB Cargo Italia (based in Gallarate) operate in their respective countries with their own locomotives and their own staff.
