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 over year to around 21 million.
Despite continued geopolitical tensions, subdued global trade activity, and ongoing pressure on logistics margins, the company delivered a solid operational performance. Hellmann said the increase in shipment volumes reflected growth above market levels and additional gains in market share, supported by its strategic focus and close customer relationships.
Against the backdrop of a difficult global market environment, the company concentrated on improving efficiency and optimizing its cost structure across the organization. These measures contributed to a slight improvement in the equity ratio, reinforcing Hellmann’s strong balance sheet and providing greater strategic flexibility for future investments and growth initiatives.
During 2025, Hellmann introduced its new long-term growth strategy, “Forward2030”, aimed at strengthening customer centricity and positioning the company to navigate increasingly dynamic global markets.
The logistics provider also continued expanding its product portfolio, particularly in e-commerce logistics. A major milestone was the partnership between Hellmann and SkyNet to launch the joint cross-border e-commerce solution “near”.
In addition, Hellmann further expanded its international footprint by establishing a new country organization in Colombia and opening new locations in key markets. The company said this growth trajectory has continued into 2026, highlighted by the recently announced automotive joint venture with Motherson.
Hellmann also advanced its sustainability agenda during the year, publishing its Sustainability Report with defined CO₂ reduction targets aligned with key CSRD principles.
“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,” said Jens Drewes, CEO of Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
Martin Eberle, CFO of Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, added that stable revenue performance and an improved equity ratio reflected the company’s financial discipline and resilience, enabling continued investment in growth, innovation, and digital capabilities.
