The Best Managed Companies Award, presented by Deloitte Private, UBS, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and the Federation of German Industries (BDI), honors medium-sized companies that stand out across four key areas: strategy, productivity & innovation, culture & commitment, and governance & finance.

Once again this year, Hellmann impressed the jury with its forward-looking corporate strategy, strong innovation capabilities, motivating work environment, and solid financial structure. The combination of long-term orientation and operational excellence was key to securing the award.

“This award is both a recognition and an incentive. It confirms that we are on the right path – with a clear strategy, a strong culture, and innovation at our core. And most importantly, our focus remains on service: the customer always comes first.”
– Jens Drewes, CEO, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics

An Award with International Standing

The Best Managed Companies program was launched by Deloitte in Canada in the 1990s and has since been established in over 45 countries. Its vision is to build a global ecosystem of excellently managed mid-sized companies and promote the sharing of best practices.

In Germany, the seal has been awarded since 2019. It represents business excellence, long-term perspective, and forward-thinking leadership – values that Hellmann continues to embody after more than 150 years in a dynamic logistics environment.
