8 | Acquisition International, Month 2025 Industry-Leading Logistics Tailored to Customer Needs Few companies in the field of freight and logistics enjoy the distinction of the Hegelmann Group, a family-run operation that got its start in Germany in 1998. From these humble origins, the brand has grown to encompass more than 8460 employees spread across Europe, the US, Asia, and Africa. Delivering a wide range of services – and goods – the company’s excellence can be felt from its transportation solutions through to its truck workshops. As a result, Hegelmann Transporte s.r.o., part of the Hegelmann Group, has been recognised as the Most Trusted Freight Forwarding Business 2025 – Central Europe. Company: Hegelmann Group Web Address: www.hegelmann.com Serving a high concentration of markets in Central Europe – as well as a handful of others spread across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the US – the Hegelmann Group is primarily known for its standard, transport services as well as its special and non-stop express deliveries. The company delivers these via road, rail, and water, leveraging its leading equipment and unrivalled industry knowledge to deliver fast, highly competent solutions throughout the dynamic cross-sector transport industry. When it comes to road transportation, which is undoubtedly the company’s primary area of expertise, the Hegelmann Group benefits first and foremost from a fleet that is incredibly diverse. The variety of trailer types on offer make the carrying of almost every sort of good or cargo seamless, with customers also benefiting from the reduction in cost that comes from only having to use one provider for a journey as opposed to several. This is just the beginning of a company that has a strong presence in everything from logistics to warehousing, with its combination of multimodal transport and a global network meaning that no challenge is too big or too small for its international teams of experts to handle. Whether it is transporting a partial load or maintaining trucks at one of its many workshops across Europe, everything the Hegelmann Group does is designed to offer an efficient service and exceed the specific logistics needs of every customer. Diving deeper into the history of this established brand, the Hegelmann Group was set up in Germany 27 years ago, where it slowly but surely carved out a reputation for itself as an industry leader on the back of its encompassing logistics solutions. Over the past 20 years or so, the company has experienced tremendous growth and expand to more than 20 total locations. Alongside this, the Hegelmann HUB was also opened in 2023. All of this has contributed to the brand securing a turnover of more than €1bn, a huge milestone and a reflection of the service excellence strived for at every turn. However, the Hegelmann Group is about so much more than just these numbers – it is a company with a clear mission, deep-rooted values, and a commitment to a purpose greater than itself. The core values at the heart of the Hegelmann Group are family – it is proud to have remained a family-run company since first opening its doors – respect, progress, motivation, and sustainability. Operating in a sustainable fashion is especially key for the brand given the work that it does, and this is a top priority for the company at every one of its locations. Its commitment to this can be seen in everything from its people management to its careful use of resources, as well as its utilising of renewable solutions. Exploring this further, the Hegelmann Group has been taking the necessary steps to gradually reduce its impact on the environment for many years now, recognising this is not a change that can happen overnight. Its Mission Green is a perfect example of this, with the initiative seeing measurable steps made on the journey to shrinking its carbon footprint. Hegelmann Group’s integration of Volvo FM 500 Electric Trucks into its fleet marks a significant milestone in their “Mission Green” initiative. This project highlights the environmental, operational, and economic benefits of adopting electric vehicles in logistics. In short, the Hegelmann Group’s relentless sustainable focus is just one of the ways it is nurturing trust with its customers on a global scale. Everything, from the company’s array of transport solutions to more niche services like driving transformation in this space through digitalisation, is done with a sense of confidence and enthusiasm, making it a fitting recipient of both this title and a place in this feature celebrating the very best.
