GLS customers will now have access to an additional 6,000 parcel lockers in Poland thanks to a new partnership with Orlen.
The long-term partnership will allow GLS Poland to meet future customer needs flexibly, growing its delivery network to over 11,000 points throughout Poland.
Tomek Zwiercan, managing director of GLS Poland, said, “This is a milestone in the development of GLS in Poland and a key step in expanding our out-of-home delivery network. When looking at how to serve our customers even better in the last mile, we identified a partnership with Orlen as the most attractive option for our customers.”
GLS customers will be able to pick up parcels from Orlen parcel machines in Poland by October, before the start of the peak season. As a next step, customers will also be able to send parcels through the Orlen network.
Maciej Chlodziński, head of the parcel machine network department at Orlen, commented, “This is the realization of previously announced plans to develop the Orlen parcel machine network and a response to the demand of parcel service providers in Poland. Sharing the network will enable more efficient utilization and will result in reduced environmental impact.”
