Galliker fulfills Elias' childhood dream

It was a very special moment that began on the "Happy Day" show on SRF 1 in December: Peter Galliker, CEO of Galliker Transport AG, discovered little Elias playing with one of our company's model trucks at a therapy center. He spontaneously decided to ask Elias' family via Röbi Koller if he could surprise him - with two faithful Galliker truck models.

Galliker fulfills Elias' childhood dream

The joy was immense when Markus Manser, Head of the Eastern Switzerland region, personally delivered the two models to Elias and his family in a real Galliker truck. "At first Elias was a little overwhelmed by the size of the real truck, but with the support of his siblings he overcame his reluctance, bravely climbed into the cab and experienced a short, exciting drive around St. Gallen. His radiance was infectious!" says Markus.

But as wonderful as the ride was, Elias could hardly wait to play with his new truck models.

The Galliker family wishes Elias and his family lots of fun with the models - and all the best for the New Year!
