Hellmann opens three new branches to expand US logistics network
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has opened three US branches—in Indianapolis, the Columbus metropolitan area and the San Francisco Bay Area—bringing its network to 12 locations and strengthening services for automotive, fashion and technology customers.
The Indianapolis site is already operating and will serve tier 1 and tier 2 automotive suppliers with international sea freight, air freight and domestic road transport. The Columbus office in Ohio will focus on fashion and retail, while the site near San Francisco International Airport will serve technology, semiconductors, electronics, cloud infrastructure and renewable energy customers. According to the company, the three branches support its road, air and sea freight services in key US markets.
Hellmann links the expansion to its Forward2030 strategy, which targets selected industries and markets with high growth potential. The company said the new locations are intended to bring it closer to customers and strengthen industry-specific logistics services. Mario Stecher, Managing Director US, said the United States plays a pivotal role in the company's global growth strategy; Peter Hüwel, Regional CEO Americas, cited the US Accelerator Programme as a framework combining the global network with local market knowledge.
The source material also states that US business logistics costs reached approximately $2.4 trillion in 2025, accounting for around 7.8% of the country's GDP.
