90 years of BEUMER – 90 years ”Made Different“

In December 2025, BEUMER Group celebrated its 90th anniversary, reflecting on another record-breaking year. With an order intake of 1.39 billion € and 5700 employees worldwide, the intralogistics specialist achieved its best ever results in 2024. This achievement is the culmination of the company’s long-term independent strategy, which, as a family business, priorities foresight over short term market trends.

How can a company succeed on a global scale, even in challenging times? For BEUMER Group, the answer lies in a value-driven strategy. Rather than pursuing short-term profit maximisation, the intralogistics specialist is committed to sustainable growth. This is based on quality leadership, innovation and a strong international presence. The company's motto “Made Different” represents an independent approach. BEUMER Group focuses on stability, reliability and collaborative partnerships, setting itself apart from current mainstream trends.

“Reliable”, “down-to-earth", “ambitious” and “collaborative” – these four values shape the company culture and form the foundation for stable customer relationships and high employee retention. This ethos is evident in the company’s business performance: in addition to a record order intake of 1.39 billion euros, global revenue increased to 1.23 billion € in 2024 (compared to 1.15 billion € the previous year). The BEUMER Group expects a further significant increase in order intake for the 2025 financial year.

Innovation as a growth driver and differentiator

Innovation is a key driver of BEUMER Group's success. The company strategically invests in new technologies, digital business models, and the continuous development of its portfolio. A recent example of this is the integration of the companies Codept and Elara. Both emerged from BEUMER’s company builder, BEAM, and today strengthen the group's digital offerings. In parallel, BG.evolution in Dortmund, Germany, is developing digital solutions to complement the existing product and system portfolio. The team works in the innovative environment of Digital Hub Logistics, maintaining close relationships with universities and research institutions. BEUMER's internal Innovation & Development department also supports portfolio development, aiming to deliver at least one forward-looking innovation per year. Through data-driven solutions, flexible production networks and robust customer support, BEUMER establishes itself as a leader in quality and technology in intralogistics. In this context, the ability to adapt flexibly to changing customer needs is just as important as sustainability and excellent employee development.

Carried by tradition, shaped by pioneering spirit and globalisation

Globalisation is another important factor in the company’s success and helps it to remain resilient in a volatile global economy. Since its foundation in 1935, BEUMER Group has evolved from a local machine factory in Beckum to become a leading global provider of intralogistics systems, with around 40 companies operating worldwide. Key milestones include international expansion in the 1960s, pioneering technological advances in overland conveyors and sorting systems, and successfully integrating and developing acquired companies such as Crisplant in Denmark, Enexco in India or FAM in Magdeburg. By digitally transforming its portfolio, BEUMER successfully combines proven tradition with forward-looking progress, always with the goal of offering genuine added value to customers.
