About Us
The shop
We primarily sell shoppers from Andersen Shopper Manufaktur and are proud to be the only provider in Switzerland to stock the entire Andersen range. Including accessories and spare parts. In addition, we are always happy to supplement our range with other suitable products and brands.
The history
The webshop www.shopping-trolley.ch has been around since 2009 - a small eternity in the internet age. The founder at the time has built up and operated the shop with great commitment over the years. The close collaboration with Andersen also began during this time. When he was looking for a buyer for his business, Peter Kaufmann became aware of the offer and took over and modernised the shop in 2023.

The people
The owner
Peter Kaufmann, the current owner and operator of www.shopping-trolley.ch, worked in communications departments for almost ten years after completing his studies and years of teaching and travelling, first in the financial sector and then for a job portal. "When I saw the advert, I didn't know that Andersen Shoppers would become my great passion," laughs Peter Kaufmann. "But an online shop seemed like the ideal opportunity to apply the communication and marketing knowledge I had acquired to my own project." The project has since developed into a passion. Peter Kaufmann has become a big fan of Andersen Shopper and also loves working on his online shop: he is constantly improving and optimising an element or a process somewhere.

The employees and partners
In addition to the owner, there are a whole host of supporters, employees and partners who help to ensure that the shop runs smoothly. These include Nora Seling (packing), Janine Grun (ads), Jan Koenig (shop software), Simon Grossen from IntegralWorks AG (accounting), Gradlon von Känel from Integralsystems & Design (IT support).
The motivation
"There are two motivations behind my commitment to the trolley shop," explains Peter Kaufmann. On the one hand, it's personal: running my own business, having full responsibility, constantly learning and being able to enjoy progress and success. "As a self-employed person, all of this has a completely different dimension and is my current adventure," says Peter Kaufmann.
The second motivation is the product and the effect it has on the world. Shopping trolleys are a small but effective contribution to a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle. "Anyone who shops on foot or by bike or goes about their leisure activities is doing something good for themselves and protecting the environment. I'm very happy that I can make a contribution to this with my small business," says Peter Kaufmann.
The vision
The vision of shopping-trolley.ch is for more and more people to lead a healthy, active and sustainable lifestyle. With our products, we contribute to reducing fuel consumption, enabling people to move more and remain independent and mobile for longer as they get older. We also attach great importance to sustainability in the operation of our shops.
Healthy and sustainable shopping, without a car, but with exercise.
