Krüsi Umzüge & Transporte GmbH

Krüsi puts its own scorecard on its about page rather than leaving a reader to guess: 1984 as the year the Brocki's roots go back to, 19 employees in what it calls a family business, and more than 3600 clearances and moves completed. Those are three separate, specific numbers rather than one vague "years of experience" line, and the about page's own meta description carries the same figures verbatim, which is a small but real sign they are not a rendering artefact.

What it is

Krüsi Umzüge & Transporte GmbH operates from Haspelweg 8 in Kollbrunn under the public-facing name "Brockenstube Krüsi," and it runs the clearance business alongside its own secondhand shop, described on the about page as covering more than 420 square metres of storage space, from small household items to furniture and small vehicles. The company positions itself as a "Räumungsfirma," a clearance specialist, with headline copy reading "Räumungsprofis in der Schweiz, seit 1984, günstig, schnell & zuverlässig," and separately claims an average of 4.3 out of 5.0 on Google reviews, a figure that appears as plain static text on the homepage rather than a script-driven counter.

What you get

The service list is built around household situations rather than a generic "clearance" label: full and partial house and apartment clearances, clearances tied to a death, clearances of what the site calls Messie-Wohnungen (hoarder apartments), furniture disposal, decluttering ahead of a move, and clearances of cellars, attics, storage rooms and garages. The company also runs a separate "Liquidationen" service aimed at company dissolutions and asset wind-downs, distinct from the household side; that page leans on fairly broad language, "hundreds of companies guided through liquidation," legal expertise, staying current with legislation, that reads like a generic template a web agency might place on many similar businesses' sites, so this write-up treats it as an advertised extra rather than a demonstrated specialty the way the household clearance side is.

On the household side, the process itself is described step by step: a phone call or a submitted form starts things off, then either a home visit or submitted photos lead to a fixed-price quote, a date gets set for weekdays between 8am and 8pm or on Saturdays, and payment is due either in cash on the day or by invoice. Whatever the crew clears gets triaged three ways: items still worth money are resold by Krüsi itself or through partners, items still usable but not worth selling go to charitable organisations, and only what nobody can use is sorted and taken to a local disposal site.

What stands out

The FAQ page answers questions with specifics rather than deflecting them. It states a client does not need to be present during the clearance, that any damage is covered by the company's own liability insurance ("Betriebs-Haftpflichtversicherung") with the client made fully whole, and that the only preparation expected of a client is to remove or clearly mark anything that should not be cleared. It also states plainly that resaleable items reduce the quoted price, since their resale value gets credited back.

The charitable angle adds a second layer beyond the pricing mechanic: the site states that Krüsi donates part of its revenue to the "Stiftung für Kinder in der Schweiz" (Foundation for Children in Switzerland), a named organisation working with disadvantaged children nationally, rather than a vague reference to "giving back."

How it's organised

The business is based in Kollbrunn, in the Zürcher Oberland, and states it covers the whole of Switzerland, naming Winterthur, St. Gallen, Zürich, Basel-Land, Basel-Stadt, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Thurgau, Aargau, Zug, Schwyz and specifically Thun, Spiez, Frauenfeld and Kloten among its working area, plus a long list of Zürich-area towns down to individual municipalities like Bassersdorf, Rümlang and Uster. The site itself carries the large volume of near-identical location and service pages typical of an SEO-driven small business site, which do not add distinct facts beyond what the core service pages already state.

What it costs

No price list, minimum charge or per-room rate is published on the site. What is published is the mechanic: a free, no-obligation site visit or a photo-based estimate, a fixed-price offer before work starts, and a lower final price when resaleable goods are found, exactly the buy-back logic Krüsi describes on its FAQ page. A reader should not expect a number without going through that quote step, since the company states none.

How it compares

Against a purely commercial clearance operator with no resale outlet, Krüsi's own Brockenhaus gives it a direct channel for anything it clears that still has value, similar in structure to a nonprofit-run Brocki but operated here as a private GmbH rather than an association. Its stated national coverage, with dozens of named towns across several cantons, is broader than a single-canton competitor, though a family business of 19 people covering that footprint will necessarily route most work through a smaller core crew rather than a large regional workforce.

Who it suits

This fits someone anywhere in German-speaking Switzerland who wants a fixed-price clearance from a company willing to state its own headcount, job count and founding year rather than leaving those details vague, particularly a household clearance after a death or a hoarding situation where the FAQ's specific, calm answers (no need to be present, insured against damage, resaleable items lower the price) matter. It suits someone who does not need the company's separate liquidation-consulting service, since that page's claims are broader and less independently checkable than the household side's.

The verdict

Krüsi backs its "Räumungsprofis seit 1984" pitch with concrete, source-confirmed numbers, a 1984 founding reference, 19 staff, over 3600 completed jobs, a 420-square-metre shop, and a stated 4.3-out-of-5.0 Google rating, plus a clearly explained pricing and triage process and a named charitable beneficiary. The weaker part of the site is the generic-sounding company-liquidation page, which reads like boilerplate rather than a demonstrated legal specialty; a prospective client should treat the household clearance side, where the specifics hold up, as the company's real strength.
