For 70 years, everything at Hödlmayr has revolved around vehicles: last year, 1.9 million of them were transported; the company’s customers, based in Schwertberg, include automobile producers, importers and dealers. As reported, the third generation, Johannes Alexander Hödlmayr, will take over the helm of the family business from July.

Last year was the best in the company’s history, as Hödlmayr presented in Linz together with CFO Robert Horvath and Sales Director Andreas Sundl. 400 million euros in sales were generated, 40 percent more than in 2022. The reason for this was a catch-up effect in the industry, the supply chains were working again, says Hödlmayr. 100 additional employees (1,700 in total) were gained last year. There was also an increase in vehicle transporters and block train systems.
From the Mühlviertel to Georgia
The vehicle logistics specialist operates 16 locations; Hödlmayr is represented in Belgium, Turkey and Georgia. Turkey has developed very well in the past year and is a gateway to the entire Caucasus, said Hödlmayr.
The location in Kiev, which was founded in 2008, is a cause for concern. “The little business we do is handled by our colleagues with outstanding performance,” said Hödlmayr. The waiting times at the borders could sometimes be up to a week. But there are no plans to withdraw from Ukraine, said Andreas Sundl.
