Back in 1844, Johann Friedrich

Hillebrand gave his name to a new

company in Mainz, Germany, which

already moved alcohol on the Rhine

River. Now, more than a century

and a half later, JF Hillebrand’s lead

in the logistics of wines, beers and

spirits cannot be disputed. Though

the corporate head offices are still

located in Mainz, the company’s

operations now span over 58 offices

and 91 countries with a workforce

of over 2,300. And the Hillebrand

family name is still very much a part

of the company as Chairman Christof

Hillebrand is a fifth-generation

member of the family.

JF Hillebrand Group’s speciality, as

logistics service providers go, is that
