Our History
150 Years of Hellmann
2021 marks the 150th anniversary of the company’s founding. What began in 1871 with modest means in Osnabrück has developed into a truly global player in logistics. Today, the members of Hellmann F.A.M.I.L.Y. are spread all over the world. And they are all united by a common heritage that has been passed down through generations.
In the year of our 150th anniversary, we, therefore, look back with pride on eventful company history, but also turn our gaze to current developments and future innovations. Because we are determined to successfully shape our future as well.
Under the motto “150 Moments,” we will be building bridges between the past and the future with a wide range of activities in 2021.
The Wild Geese
More than a Company Logo
The V-shaped formation of the wild geese is for us a symbol of perfect cooperation. None of the animals could manage the journey alone. The migratory birds plan their flights down to the smallest detail, weigh risks together, and have excellent communication. Wild geese are loyal to each other for a lifetime and have a strong sense of responsibility.
For us, these are characteristics that also make an excellent logistics service provider. Therefore the wild goose is more than a logo for us, it symbolizes our philosophy as a family business and forms the basis for our success. The wild goose is a trademark that suits us.
