Learn how we make your move reliable, efficient, and sustainable — from the first quote to the safe arrival of your furniture.

If you are planning a move, it’s good to know that your moving company is nearby. The members of SMA (Swiss Furniture Transport Association) are locally rooted and operate where you need them.

By requesting a quote through our website, you ensure that you not only receive a fair price but also an environmentally friendly solution. We only contact the three SMA companies closest to your location. This saves long travel distances and ensures a smooth process without unexpected delays.

A move can be complicated, especially when it comes to costs. At SMA companies, we place great importance on transparent information and clear communication.

Your move will be professionally documented – from the first quote to potential claims processing. We ensure that you understand every step and know what happens next.

Caution when comparing offers! What seems cheap at first glance can turn out to be more expensive in the end. Pay attention to hidden costs, such as hourly rates or “per effort” costs, and carefully compare which services are included in the price and what the insurance coverage looks like.

Modern Vehicles

Our member companies use a modern, clean, and well-maintained fleet specifically tailored for private moves. Each SMA company has at least one truck.

We also take care of necessary parking permits to ensure there are no problems during loading and unloading.

Professional Equipment

A move is more than just transporting items – it is a service. Our competent employees are our most important asset, but the right equipment is also crucial.

SMA members use modern tools and aids for disassembling and reassembling your furniture. We are well-equipped for heavy items such as pianos or safes. If necessary, we work with specialists. External lifts and other equipment are also used to make your move as safe and efficient as possible.

Modern Offices and Storage Facilities

A professional moving company also needs professional offices. Our members work with the necessary IT infrastructure and lighting to ensure smooth coordination.

Additionally, all SMA members have storage rooms larger than 250 m². These are clean, secure, and specifically designed for storing household items.

We know how important your personal property is to you. That’s why SMA members work with leading insurance companies to protect your belongings as best as possible.

In the event of damage, we ensure quick repair or fair compensation. Our goal is to prevent damage from the outset and to act quickly in an emergency.

Environmental Responsibility

Choosing an SMA member is a sign of your social and ecological responsibility. Given the visible effects of climate change in Switzerland, our companies are actively committed to reducing CO2 emissions.

We work to reduce emissions by:

  • utilizing systematic recycling programs
  • using reusable packaging materials
  • consolidating long-distance loads

Many of our members have environmental management systems and are ISO 14001 certified.

Financial Security and Transparent Data Processing

Your trust is important to us. Therefore, we ensure that our companies are economically stable to offer you long-term security. Our strict financial criteria protect you from paying for a service you might not receive.

We also take customer feedback very seriously and follow up on any complaints. Your personal data is safe with us and will only be used for the service you entrust us with.

A successful move largely depends on qualified and motivated employees. As SMA members, we are committed to fair and safe working conditions.
