Hermes Germany

Based in Hamburg, Hermes Germany is one of Germany’s leading logistics service providers and partner to numerous online shops and multi-channel distributors in Germany and abroad.

Hermes Germany handles parcel delivery nationwide via its 10 ultra-modern logistics centres as well as around 270 private and partner locations. On top of this is the network of over 16,500 PacelShops. Overall, around 6,000 employees and over 10,500 delivery agents serve customers every day.

Thanks to its high-performance and extremely flexible network, the company has successfully and reliably handled parcel delivery to a high standard once again in 2022. Despite hugely fluctuating shipment volumes, which pose an enormous challenge to any operational planning, 96 percent of shipments were delivered on the first delivery attempt in the past financial year – and at lightning speed: 93% of standard deliveries and 95% of express deliveries arrived at the front door the day after they were handed over.

Hermes Germany can look back on a challenging and successful fiscal year (1 March 2022 to 28 February 2023). In the midst of a challenging market and competitive environment, the logistics expert has maintained its position as one of the leading parcel delivery services in Germany, one of the central CEP markets in Europe. The company generated a turnover of over €1.7 billion.

Hermes Germany focuses on parcel delivery within Germany. With Hermes International and Hermes BorderGuru, Hermes Germany also offers attractive international parcel shipping services and processes upstream goods flows worldwide. This is an area with growth potential. Furthermore, the company is dedicated to doing more in the areas of sustainability and digitalisation. Investments in sustainable and alternative delivery concepts, in technology and in new, customer-orientated services are extremely important.
