In-depth Discussions at Parcel+PostExpo
Everything that companies in the package delivery and postal sectors need can be found at Parcel+PostExpo. For the 15th time, KYBURZ exhibited its vehicles at the trade show, which took place in London this year.
The KYBURZ booth is a must-visit for many trade show attendees, as there is always something new to discover. The ePedelec 4.0 did not disappoint and attracted a lot of interest.
For the KYBURZ sales team including Renata Franz, Daniel Eng, and CEO Dr. Stefan Breu the event provided many opportunities for in-depth discussions with existing customers. New contacts were established with national postal services and private delivery companies. Dr. Frieder Herb presented the Potential Analysis Tool, which can predict savings on the last mile. KYBURZ’s Head of Development, Dr. Philipp Stoll, was able to competently answer all technical questions.
Now the post-trade-show follow-up begins: nurturing and strengthening contacts, arranging test runs, and preparing quotes. The concrete results sales will not be measurable for several months.
The next Parcel+PostExpo opens its doors on September 29, 2027, in Paris!
KYBURZ at the 15th DIQ Symposium in Frankfurt
“Battery Technology 360° – From Type Approval to Circular Economy” At a symposium on this topic, having a speaker from KYBURZ is practically a must! The German Institute for Quality Promotion (DIQ) invited Dr. Frieder Herb to speak in person to an audience of approximately 250 experts and automotive professionals about “The Use of Batteries in Last-Mile Delivery and KYBURZ’s Life Cycle Concept.”
Drawing on his many years of experience in battery and vehicle development, Frieder demonstrated how lightweight electric vehicles, fleet management, route optimization, and TCO considerations contribute to cost-effective and resource-efficient delivery. Particular emphasis was placed on the KYBURZ circular economy approach: vehicles and batteries are used across multiple phases of use, remanufactured, and recycled as comprehensively as possible.
Many exciting encounters at the apprenticeship fair in Bülach
On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, KYBURZ Switzerland AG had the opportunity to showcase itself at the apprenticeship fair in Bülach. With a booth right in the middle of the event, the HR manager and her vocational trainers were able to meet many young people who are thinking about their professional future.
KYBURZ offers apprenticeships as a Commercial Clerk (EFZ) and a Production Mechanic (EFZ). The questions were just as diverse: What does a typical workday look like? What can I expect during the apprenticeship? What opportunities will I have after completing my training? And, of course: What’s it actually like to work at KYBURZ?
The interaction with the young people was very open, engaging, and relaxed. It was wonderful to see how motivated and curious they were as they learned about their options. Some conversations went far beyond the usual questions and that’s exactly what made the afternoon particularly exciting for the vocational trainers.
We look forward to many more encounters perhaps soon during a trial apprenticeship at KYBURZ!
Visit at the Lyreco's Logistics Center
How does an order placed today manage to reach the customer as early as the next day? KYBURZ third-year apprentices had the opportunity to get to the bottom of this question during a visit to the Lyreco Switzerland AG logistics center in Dintikon.
Marcel Bucher, Sales Team Leader, warmly welcomed the apprentices. After a brief presentation about Lyreco and the logistics center, they gained fascinating insights into the various processes from ordering and order picking to shipping preparation.
This was followed by a tour of the different warehouse areas. Particularly impressive were the numerous machines and robots that support employees in their daily work.
To wrap up the visit, the group had the opportunity to ask any remaining questions and share their impressions over a relaxed cocktail reception.
Apprentice Bring Life to the Office
After a one-month introductory seminar, Shehraz Akram and Ben Scheffel started working at KYBURZ’s office. Both are business administration apprentices (KV). Thanya Velayuthampillai is doing an internship at KYBURZ through the end of January as part of her training at business school.
Currently, the three are learning the processes in the back office and service administration. Soon they will take on tasks and contribute productively to the team. The staff are also getting to know these three young people better on a personal level. What we already know: Thanya enjoys traveling to Asia, Ben plays fistball, and Shehraz goes to boxing training.
KYBURZ welcomes Thanya, Ben, and Shehraz and wishes them a great start! Welcome to KYBURZ.
10th Anniversary: Matthias Röthlin
Matthias Röthlin has been part of the KYBURZ family for 10 years. What began with his first day on the job during the open house in September 2016 has evolved into a multifaceted and important role in the service department.
As a trained auto mechanic, Matthias brings a wealth of technical expertise to the table. Today, his responsibilities include managing the spare parts department and the product lineup. He ensures that the correct replacement parts reach our service partners and private customers. Whenever questions arise about a replacement part, a repair, or a technical solution, Matthias is a key point of contact.
In addition to the replacement parts department, he looks after our international customers, manages the online store, and is responsible for the company vehicle fleet. In doing so, he combines his technical expertise with his business management knowledge.
He further expanded this knowledge during his time at KYBURZ and earned a diploma in business administration (HF) while working.
Dear Matthias, thank you very much for 10 years of dedication. We warmly congratulate you on this milestone and look forward to many more years together!
