About Zaugg Emballeur AG
Zaugg Emballeur AG is a family-owned Swiss company founded in 1977 by Werner Zaugg and led by its owners, with headquarters in Schlieren near Zurich. The company specializes in professional packaging and global export of machinery, vehicles, dangerous goods (classes 1–6, 8, 9) and large, bulky goods for land, air and sea freight. The value chain includes the manufacture of packaging materials such as plywood crates with lightweight metal frames, foldable stacking frames, solid wood and pressboard pallets, cardboard boxes and cushioning material (FILL-PAC made of polystyrene), complemented by corrosion-protection packaging and ISPM No. 15-compliant wood packaging. In addition, Zaugg offers storage of spare parts up to complete machinery systems, logistics and freight forwarding services with its own trucks and e-dec customs clearance, as well as facility management.
