In 1995, the company relocated to Sophie‑Charlotte‑Straße in Berlin, expanding its storage capacity to around 300 products. Just one year later, in 1996, Havelland Express began its international expansion by working with the Paris wholesale market and using Frankfurt Airport as a hub for overseas specialty products.

Since 2004, Havelland Express has been supplying hotels and restaurants in Prague, Mariánské Lázně and Karlovy Vary. In 2005, deliveries were expanded to include Poland.

In 2007, the company moved to Gottlieb‑Dunkel‑Straße in Berlin‑Tempelhof. The new location supported further growth and the expansion of logistical capacities.

From 2010 onwards, Havelland Express increasingly focused on sustainable animal farming, responsible sourcing and transparent product origins. This commitment became visible both in the product range and in external communications through the introduction of the “Green Label”.

Over the following years, the assortment was expanded internationally to include, among others, fish from Iceland, fruit from Thailand, Argentine beef and Polish caviar. In 2015, the launch of the premium product “Echt Havelländer Apfelschwein” marked a further milestone, emphasising a clearly defined regional origin.

In 2017, Havelland Express opened offices in Hamburg and Hanover, further strengthening its regional presence.

In 2021, the company was honoured as “Innovator of the Year”. The award recognised in particular the combination of a strong regional quality focus, digital sales structures and innovative logistics solutions, such as those implemented with Markthalle Zwanzig.

In 2022, Havelland Express expanded into the Baltic region with locations in Estonia and Latvia. A further site in Munich followed in 2023 to strengthen the company’s presence in southern Germany.

Since 2023, Havelland Express has been part of the “Freakstotable” network, which places origin, quality and conscious enjoyment at the centre. Membership underscores the company’s ambition to focus on products with a clearly defined origin and high quality standards.

From 2024 onwards, Havelland Express has also been expanding its cruise and yacht business. The focus lies on supplying this customer segment with premium products, tailored assortments and reliable logistics. At the same time, this step marked the company’s entry into international supply operations within this specialised market segment.

In 2025, deliveries were extended to include the hotel and restaurant sector in Austria. At the same time, the completion of an additional warehouse extension set the course for further growth: a modern CO₂‑based deep‑freeze facility was built on an additional 700 m².

In parallel, a large‑scale photovoltaic system was installed on the entire roof of the building, also supplying new charging stations for the increasingly electrified vehicle fleet.

At the beginning of 2026, Havelland Express switched entirely to electricity from renewable energy sources. At the same time, logistics structures were further developed in a targeted manner through established transshipment points in Poland and Hamburg. This enabled the expansion of tours in Eastern Europe while also creating the conditions to supply northern Germany – particularly regions such as Sylt – more efficiently and precisely.

From 2027, the company will transition to a new warehouse management system in order to unlock further efficiency potential, consistently advance digitalisation and implement paperless processes across the organisation.
