Hellmann Worldwide Logistics closed fiscal year 2025 with Group revenue of EUR 3.7 billion compared to EUR 3.8 billion in the previous year, while total shipments increased slightly year-on-year to approximately 21 million.
Despite continued geopolitical tensions, subdued global trade, and ongoing pressure on logistics margins, the company delivered stable operational performance during a challenging global market environment. The increase in shipment volumes reflected market share gains and volume growth above overall market levels, supported by Hellmann’s strategic focus and strong customer relationships.
To maintain profitability and operational resilience, Hellmann continued to optimize its cost structure and improve organizational efficiency, contributing to a slight improvement in the company’s equity ratio. The company stated that its strong balance sheet provides a solid foundation for future investments, strategic flexibility, and long-term growth initiatives.
During 2025, Hellmann introduced its new growth strategy, “Forward2030,” aimed at strengthening the company’s long-term market position and preparing for evolving global logistics demands. As part of this strategy, the company expanded its product portfolio, particularly in the E-commerce logistics segment.
A key development included the partnership between Hellmann and SkyNet to launch the cross-border E-commerce solution “near,” designed to strengthen international logistics capabilities for growing digital commerce markets.
Hellmann also continued to expand its international presence by establishing a new country organization in Colombia and opening additional locations in strategic global markets. The company’s expansion momentum has continued into 2026, including the recently announced automotive joint venture with Motherson.
On the sustainability front, Hellmann advanced its environmental agenda by publishing its Sustainability Report in 2025, which includes defined CO₂ reduction targets aligned with major Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) principles.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Jens Drewes, CEO Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, said, “2025 was characterized by a very demanding market environment. In this context, I am proud of what our global team has achieved together. We have delivered solid operational performance while, at the same time, setting a clear strategic course through Forward2030, with a strong emphasis on customer centricity. The foundations are in place, our priorities are defined and we are well positioned to capture growth opportunities in the years ahead.”
Martin Eberle, CFO Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, added, “Maintaining stable revenue and improving our equity ratio in such a volatile environment is a clear sign of our financial discipline and resilience. Our strong cost management and solid balance sheet give us the flexibility to continue investing in growth, innovation, and digital capabilities. This financial stability is a key enabler for executing our strategy and further strengthening Hellmann’s market position.”
