How it all began...

1950
In the 1950s, company founder Maximilian Berger, one of 12 siblings, took over his parents' horse and carriage business, with its two horses and an ox. This included transportation of various products including coal, wood, luggage and postal packages.

1954
... saw the business go motorized. A new tractor manufactured by "Güldner" (30 hp) was now used to provide transportation services.

1971
... The family began transporting milk cans by truck (Steyrer 380) from Ober- and Untertal to the central collecting point at the train station in Schladming. These activities were of great importance to the farmers of the Tauern valleys since Max Berger was not only bringing milk to the valley, he was also delivering bread and newspapers at the same time. The daily transportation of post for Schladming and Ramsau was also done with the tractor. The owner continued to deliver the milk himself all the way until 1991.
