Hellmann Worldwide Logistics marks the 20th anniversary of its operations in Japan, highlighting its continued presence in a strategically important global logistics market.

Since opening the first office in Japan in 2006, Hellmann has established a focused local presence and gradually developed its service offering to support customers across selected industries, including automotive, fashion, healthcare, and technology. Today, the company provides core logistics services such as airfreight, seafreight, customs brokerage, and selected specialized solutions. With offices in Tokyo and Osaka, Hellmann Japan supports domestic and international customers through tailored logistics services and integration into its global network.

Within its global strategy “Forward2030”, Asia-Pacific (APAC) has been identified as a key growth region, with Japan representing a stable and important market environment. Against this backdrop, Hellmann will continue to develop its activities in Japan in line with customer needs and market opportunities.

“APAC is an important region within our global strategy “Forward2030” and Japan contributes to this as a mature and innovative market with strong connections to global supply chains. Going forward, we will continue to invest in the region and expand our capabilities to support our customers’ growth with integrated, sustainable logistics solutions,” said Jens Drewes, CEO, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.

“Over the past years, we have grown our APAC presence by broadening our footprint, strengthening local teams, and building more connected solutions for customers across the region. Japan is part of this development: with our teams in Tokyo and Osaka, we have established a strong local foundation that combines market expertise with the reach of our regional and global network. We will build on this momentum and continue to strengthen Japan’s role within our broader APAC growth journey,” said Sven Raudszus, Regional CEO APAC, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
