Gosselin’s board cruises in company’s own containers

During the first weekend in May, the entire Antwerp-based Gosselin board of directors visited Switzerland, its largest base of operations outside of Belgium. While navigating the Three-Lake region around Neuchâtel, they discussed the company’s achievements and its goals for the future.

All seven members of the board, including Gosselin’s CEO Marc Smet, stayed on the new and only Swiss boatel Attila. This cruise ship was built from Gosselin household goods containers that were converted to cabins last year by a group of innovative Swiss entrepreneurs, including moving division CEO Marcel Jörg.

Besides the exchange with the Swiss team, the board also enjoyed meeting the creators of Kéris, a start-up in the clockmaking industry. This company is redefining the traditional pendule neuchâteloise (Neuchâtel-style pendule clocks) to make them contemporary and futureproof again. Combining business and pleasure while cruising the Swiss lakes. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Road VS Rail transport

European Logistics goes Multi-modal!

Gosselin currently launched a new trial project combining the usual road transport with train groupage in Europe. It is the perfect combination between handling large volumes, less reloads, less damage risks, and focusing on sustainability at the same time.

The ‘Pendelproeverij’ at Gosselin was a success! Colleagues were able to choose from a mobility menu filled with alternatives for those who are tired of driving in busy traffic. City bikes, electric bikes, speed pedelecs, but also subscriptions for public transport or the many public bicycle initiatives such as Blue-bike and Donkey Republic.
