Bertling celebrates 160th Anniversary and announces Construction of its New Headquarters in the Hamburg City Center

We are excited to announce the construction of our new headquarters in Hamburg, Germany! This is a significant milestone in our company’s continued growth and demonstrates our long-term vision of becoming the shipping and logistics service partner of choice for our customers in our Europe and around the world.

Our new headquarters will be a state-of-the-art facility designed to foster collaboration, innovation, sustainability and growth. Strategically located in the heart of Hamburg – near the Landungsbrücken – the office will provide our Shipping, Logistics, IT and Holding teams with an inspiring and modern work environment, equipped with flexible workspaces in an environmentally responsible design. This is how the building will look like:


"Hamburg has been our home for many years now and represents modern trade and the connection of Germany and Europe to the rest of the world. Establishing our new headquarters here reflects our deep commitment to our German roots, our people, and to our future growth”, says Julia Bulmahn, Shareholder. "This project represents more than just a building - it’s an investment in our future and a symbol of our ambition”, she continues.

The building will consist of six floors, with a F&B facility in the basement and a modern event location on the upper floor. With multiple bicycle parking spaces, lots of greenery and a modern design for lighting and energy flows, the building also demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and to creating a responsible workplace overall. With the S-Bahn station and bus stations close by, our employees are encouraged to either take public transport or their bikes to get to work.

“2025 marks our 160th anniversary, a milestone we are extremely proud of”, says Julia Bulmahn. “Our company history has always been eventful, with its share of ups and downs, local and global challenges, and changes in employees and customers. But what really matters hasn’t changed since we were founded in 1865: our deep commitment to resilience, innovation, and providing the highest level of customer service and bespoke solutions for our global customers in shipping, logistics and IT.”


“I am particularly proud to announce the construction of our new Headquarters in our anniversary year, which will pave the way for many more successful years in our company’s history. From our beginnings in Lübeck, where the company was founded, to becoming a recognized global leader in shipping and logistics, this journey has only been possible thanks to the dedication, talent, and hard work of our colleagues around the world and our many loyal customers. We would sincerely like to thank you all for your continued support and look forward to continuing our good collaboration.”

The new Headquarters are scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, with phased occupation beginning shortly thereafter. We look forward to welcoming our employees, customers, and business partners to our new home then in early 2027.

Stay tuned for updates as the construction progresses!
