Learn all about us
Every zebra is unique – no two patterns are the same. No matter what and why you store with us, you too are unique. We want to offer a self-storage service tailored to your needs for a long-lasting positive experience.
Our goal
As a company run by co-owners, we maintain a strong customer focus and offer our customers the best possible service and a high-quality range of storage products. In addition to renting delivery vans and selling high-quality packaging materials, Zebrabox also offers other services such as accepting deliveries for business customers. We currently have 15 locations: Basel, Bern, Horgen, Ittigen, Lausanne, Bussigny, Neuchâtel, Schlieren, Pfäffikon SZ, Therwil, St. Gallen, Villeneuve, Winterthur, Neuenhof and Zurich. More locations are in the pipeline, with three new sites opening in 2024.
Our values
"We make it easy to store". We not only rent out storage space, we also offer our customers a comprehensive range of storage services. Being customer-focused is always our top priority – we do everything we can to make the process as straightforward as possible for you. We treat all customers equally and try to make the impossible possible. That’s why our motto is "smart storage".
Why the name Zebrabox?
Apart from being very friendly animals that (almost) everyone likes, zebras all have black and white stripes and, just like human fingerprints, no two zebra patterns are exactly the same. The name Zebrabox therefore represents the diversity of our customers: they all have different reasons and requirements, but they have something in common – they need a place to camp. Zebrabox offers private customers and businesses customised storage solutions and other additional services related to storage.
Our history
The company was founded in 2003 by Christian Schmutz with the support of private entrepreneurs. In 2008, Zebrabox took on the traditional Transmi Ministorage AG in Zurich-Oerlikon, which was founded in 1979. Zebrabox therefore became the longest active self-storage company in continental Europe. From then on, we grew steadily and regularly expanded our branch network. With over 6'000 active customers and a storage space of approx. 45'000 m2, we are the leading self-storage provider in Switzerland. As part of the internationalisation of Zebrabox, a franchise partnership was initiated in the Spanish market in summer 2023.
This makes us the market leader
