Overview

Hupac is one of Europe's leading intermodal operators, founded in 1967 in Chiasso by five pioneers to combine road and rail across the Alps. The Hupac Group operates a network connecting major European economic areas and destinations as far as the Far East, with daily trains carrying containers, swap bodies and semi-trailers.

History

Hupac was founded on 1 March 1967 in Chiasso by five pioneers: the transport companies Bertschi and F.lli Bernasconi, the haulage contractors Danzas and Jacky Maeder, and Swiss railways SBB. The company was established to meet a market need for safe, reliable traffic across the Alps, at a time when the Gotthard road tunnel did not yet exist and trucks had to struggle over the pass. One year later, the company began operating with 10 of its own wagons, constructed by Ferriere Cattaneo.
