Professional TRANSPORT.
Our history in Fine Arts & Design.
Love of art is in Züst & Bachmeier’s DNA: as early as 1966, our founder, philanthropist and collector Giovanni Züst decided to donate his entire collection to the municipality of Rancate in Canton Ticino. His bequest gave rise to the Pinacoteca Cantonale Giovanni Züst, which is still open today and contains a wealth of works by Ticino artists active from the 18th to the 19th century.
The company’s ongoing commitment to the transportation of works of art has made us forerunners in this field and our membership in ICEFAT, the International Convention and Exhibition of Fine Arts Transporters, the international body that brings together the leading experts in the field, guarantees performance with high quality standards, subject to regular audits.
Our experience and professionalism have enabled us to collaborate with some of the most important museums and galleries.
