Galliker is accompanying the Swiss national powerchair hockey team

When logistics meets passion, extraordinary stories unfold. During the 2026 Powerchair Hockey World Championship in Finland, Galliker had the opportunity to support the Swiss national team on its journey to the international tournament, making a significant contribution behind the scenes. The project was initiated by the Swiss Paraplegic Association in Nottwil, whose Wheelchair Sports Switzerland division recognized the national team’s needs early on and proactively initiated the collaboration with Galliker.

Our driver was on the team’s exclusive service for about two weeks and reliably transported all the equipment across Europe. The route led from Switzerland to Lübeck-Travemünde, then by ferry to Helsinki, and finally overland to Lahti, the venue for the World Championships at the Pajulahti Olympic & Paralympic Training Center.

In addition to handling the transportation, Galliker supported the project through in-kind sponsorship by covering a significant portion of the transportation costs. This allowed the team to focus entirely on the competition, which ultimately led to a successful outcome.

The Swiss national team delivered a strong performance at the World Championships and ultimately earned the title of world champions—a success that fills us with particular pride because we were able to be part of this exciting journey.
