Gebr. Heinemann

Gebr. Heinemann is a family business based in Hamburg, Germany, that supplies and runs shops for the international travel market. It sells branded goods to travellers through travel retail. The company calls itself one of the most important wholesalers and retailers in this market.

The business began in 1879 as a ship chandler in Hamburg. Since then it has grown into a global group of companies. The parent company, Gebr. Heinemann SE and Co. KG, has its headquarters in Hamburg.

Three regional headquarters support the group abroad. Heinemann Asia Pacific is based in Singapore, Heinemann Americas in Miami and Heinemann Middle East Africa in Dubai. The group is also present around the world through subsidiaries, affiliates and business partnerships.

Its work is organised into several business areas. Retail covers the shops it operates. Distribution covers supplying other shops. Supply chain covers the logistics behind both. The group also lists sales channels and business development as areas of work. Customers can order the full product range from an online shop as well.

Heinemann reports on sustainability under four themes. These are environment, social matters, a responsible value chain and governance. The company also publishes press releases and publications, and it offers career paths for school leavers, students, graduates and professionals in retail, logistics and its headquarters.
