What HELLMICH does

HELLMICH is a German family-owned construction and real estate services group founded in 1932 and headquartered in Dinslaken, operating across Germany and Luxembourg with subsidiaries in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The company delivers the full lifecycle of commercial real estate through five service lines: logistics and industrial construction (warehouses, distribution centers, delivery bases), sports venue construction (stadiums and multifunctional arenas), turnkey commercial construction (retail, hotels, offices), project and property development (land acquisition, planning, financing, permitting, construction), and senior living under the HEWAG brand complemented by High Quality Services GmbH (catering, laundry, building services). Its core technology is traditional construction execution supported by an in-house workforce of masters and skilled workers, with the only notable digital capability being construction-site webcam monitoring offered to clients.

The business model combines one-time fixed-price turnkey construction contracts with developer-investor-operator activity in select assets (notably Neutor Galerie Dinslaken, HEWAG senior residences, and logistics properties for DHL/Deutsche Post and Kühne+Nagel). Revenue is generated through enterprise field sales, tender participation, and long-term client relationships, with reference projects such as the 61,482-seat Veltins-Arena (FC Schalke 04), 40,000 m² Kühne+Nagel facility in Contern, Luxembourg, 35,000 m² DHL center in Euskirchen, and 32,930-seat Tivoli Stadium in Aachen serving as the primary marketing assets. Customers span logistics operators, retail investors, football clubs and municipalities, and senior care operators. Annual revenue first exceeded €300 million in 2016; the company employs over 1,200 people across 28+ regional locations. Leadership remains within the Hellmich family, with Walter Georg Hellmich as managing shareholder and his son Marc Hellmich as managing director of the operating Baugesellschaft WALTER HELLMICH GmbH.
