Hellmann recorded strong results

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics closed fiscal year 2025 with Group revenue of EUR 3.7 billion, compared to EUR 3.8 billion in the prior year, while total shipments grew slightly year-on-year to approximately 21 million.

Despite persistent pressure on logistics margins and a demanding global market environment shaped by geopolitical tensions and subdued trade activity, the company delivered solid operational performance and continued to outgrow the broader market in shipment volumes.

The year saw the formal introduction of the Forward2030 growth strategy, establishing a clear strategic framework and a platform for navigating dynamic market conditions in the years ahead.

Hellmann systematically expanded its product portfolio, with particular emphasis on e-commerce logistics, supported by the partnership with SkyNet and the launch of Near, a joint cross-border e-commerce solution.

The company also extended its international footprint by establishing a new country organisation in Colombia and opening new locations in key markets.

Growth momentum has continued into 2026, including a recently announced automotive joint venture with Motherson.

On sustainability, Hellmann published its 2025 Sustainability Report with defined CO₂ targets, aligned with key principles of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, advancing its environmental accountability agenda.

Cost structure adjustment and efficiency improvement throughout the year contributed to a slight improvement in the equity ratio, reinforcing balance sheet strength and preserving strategic flexibility for continued investment in growth, innovation and digital capabilities.

CEO Jens Drewes described 2025 as a year of demanding conditions met with strong collective performance, highlighting the combination of operational delivery and strategic clarity through Forward2030 as the foundation for capturing growth opportunities ahead.

CFO Martin Eberle characterised the maintenance of stable revenue and an improved equity ratio in a volatile environment as evidence of financial discipline and resilience that underpins the company’s capacity to execute its strategy.
