Hellmann Worldwide Logistics reported revenue of EUR 3.7 billion in 2025, compared with EUR 3.8 billion in 2024. Total shipments rose slightly to approximately 21 million.
The company maintained stable operations despite geopolitical tensions, weak global trade activity and pressure on logistics margins. It also gained market share through shipment growth above market levels.
Customer Focus and Cost Management Support Performance
Hellmann attributed its performance to customer-focused initiatives, improved operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.
The company also reported a slight improvement in its equity ratio. This strengthened its balance sheet and gave it greater flexibility to invest in future growth.
Forward2030 Sets Long-Term Growth Direction
In 2025, Hellmann introduced its new Forward2030 growth strategy. The roadmap focuses on customer centricity, international expansion, innovation and digital transformation.
The company also expanded its product portfolio, particularly in e-commerce logistics. Key initiatives included a partnership with SkyNet and the launch of its cross-border e-commerce solution, “near”.
Hellmann further strengthened its global presence. It established a new country organisation in Colombia and opened additional locations in key international markets.
The company has continued this growth momentum in 2026. Recent developments include its announced automotive joint venture with Motherson.
Sustainability Remains a Key Priority
Alongside business expansion, Hellmann continued its sustainability efforts. The company published its Sustainability Report, which includes defined CO₂ reduction targets aligned with key Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) principles.
