After Heinz Alfs had a ship loaded with gravel on the Upper Rhine for the first time in 1948 and sent it to Antwerp, he laid the foundation for the family business, which the third generation is successfully running today. Demand grew steadily, as did the number of deliveries, primarily to Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. To ensure the transport of gravel and chippings, ALFS AG (formerly Trans-Splitt AG) was founded as a shipping company in Switzerland in 1964. Today, ALFS AG offers its customers a total service of trading and transport.
Individual client contact and the highest quality standards, punctuality, and reliability are the values that have always characterized ALFS AG. The professional handling of all services is guaranteed by our experience, which has matured over decades, our constantly expanding know-how, and the commercial business contacts from both near and far that we have built over the years.
We constantly check the origin, processing, and transport conditions to guarantee the materials’ high quality and sophisticated transport. We only consider production companies that meet our high-quality expectations. We are constantly on the road so that we know our long-term business partners and their products and services. For us, the search for the best materials is a standing order that never ends.
The business activities of ALFS AG include national and international sand, gravel, and chippings trading as mineral aggregates and building materials. We count the concrete and asphalt industries and the landscaping sector among our valued customers.
Concurrently, we run an international logistics company under the same roof, focusing on inland shipping and trucks in the B2B sector.
This combination of trade in building materials and transport provides our customers with comprehensive and high-quality overall services from a single source.
Customers can count on ALFS AG from A to Z, from the first consultation to delivery at the destination.
