Over 45 years of
Packimpex history
Since 1977, the Packimpex Group has celebrated several major milestones both in the pan-European company’s own history, and in the moving and relocation industry more broadly. From our more recent success story of growing internationally across Europe through strategic mergers and partnerships, to our first breakthrough success in the 1990s when the group became the Swiss market leader in relocation services, Packimpex’s timeline tells the story of a strong and successful business that constantly evolves and grows to achieve its mission of meeting customers’ needs and offering the best service possible.
