Hamburg: The Heart of Our Operations

For us, Hamburg has always been the gateway to the world. This is where the roots of our company lie and from here we manage our business in numerous countries.

Founded in 1879 by the brothers Carl and Heinrich Heinemann as a small family business in the Hanseatic City of Hamburg, we have developed over five generations into a global group of companies. Today we are one of the leading distributors and retailers in the global travel retail market.

Shape your professional future

Our headquarters is more than just a workplace—it's a vibrant community of professionals dedicated to innovation and excellence. Here, you will collaborate in an international environment with talented colleagues contributing to strategic initiatives shaping the future of our business. Our diverse functional departments provide numerous opportunities to grow your career and take on new challenges.

Onboarding and Development

During your first few weeks, our comprehensive and structured onboarding program helps you transition seamlessly into your new role. This initial phase lays the foundation for your career journey, which is further supported by a wide range of professional and personalized training measures. These include job-specific programs in areas such as sales, project management, negotiation skills, communication, and leadership. To ensure your continued personal and professional growth, you will have the opportunity to engage in regular feedback sessions, which is an important pillar of lifelong learning and development.

In addition to the learning journey, we highly value understanding the emotional well-being of our employees and improving our working conditions. By regularly conducting surveys, we identify and implement measures that address individual needs and foster organizational development. This approach ensures that we remain responsive and supportive, creating a thriving work environment for everyone.
