Furniture Removers). From the outset, the goal was to unite leading moving companies and ensure <strong>quality<\/strong> and <strong>know-how<\/strong>. Even then, cross-border transports took place \u2013 by horse-drawn carriage, train, or inland waterway vessel; later, air traffic and container logistics were added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">After the Second World War, the industry grew strongly: mobility increased, and international moves became the norm. In 1950, FIDI (F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale des D\u00e9m\u00e9nageurs Internationaux) was founded in Switzerland. In the 1990s, competition intensified, especially due to foreign providers. In 2003, the CVSM was rebranded as the Association of Swiss Moving Companies (VSU). In 2016, the association celebrated its 100th anniversary.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At the General Assembly <strong>in November 2019, the association was renamed SMA \u2013 Swiss Movers Association<\/strong>, and cooperation with the Swiss Commercial Vehicle Association ASTAG was reorganised. Certified companies of ASTAG (ASTAG Plus) and VSU were integrated into the SMA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Today, the Swiss moving industry offers two complementary association options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Member of ASTAG (no entry barrier)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Certified Member of SMA (ASTAG
