European network
Since its establishment at the end of 1999, GLS has managed to create a stable European parcel transport network in just a few years. The entire GLS Group network - in over 40 countries, on the West Coast of the USA and in Canada - consists of around 70 central and regional transhipment points and around 1 500 branches.
Numerous acquisitions and agreements with partners proved to be milestone in the company's history. In many countries, GLS established its own branches - often they were separate networks that immediately began operating on a full scale.
The GLS success story begins with the acquisition of the German company Paket-Logistik GmbH by the Royal Mail Group. The company General Logistics Systems (GLS) starts its operations.
