InPost Group expands Iberia footprint
InPost Group has acquired Iberian delivery and fulfilment services provider Sending, strengthening its nationwide logistics network and product offering in Iberia. InPost Iberia has substantially enhanced its capabilities across the region with Sending’s 24-hour, next-day to-door delivery.
“In Iberia, InPost is already the second-largest parcel locker network, and we continue to expand dynamically. The acquisition of Sending will enhance our offerings with to-door capabilities and accelerate the adoption of our Automated Parcel Machine lockers,” said InPost Group Founder and CEO Rafał Brzoska.
“We are pressing forward with our strategy of expansion across Europe, through both organic growth and acquisitions of attractive targets in key markets. Following up on our recent takeovers in the UK, this strategic move will not only expand our reach but also accelerate the growth of our innovative out-of-home delivery solutions.”
The acquisition enables InPost to:
-
Broaden its addressable market by integrating Sending’s to-door capabilities with its existing OOH network of lockers and PUDO points
-
Strengthen its position in Iberia, one of Europe’s fastest-growing ecommerce markets
-
Enhance service flexibility for customers by combining secure, fast and sustainable OOH delivery with reliable home delivery options
InPost will integrate Sending’s to-door delivery offering with its existing network of parcel lockers and pick-up/drop-off points, assembling a comprehensive delivery ecosystem that will allow fast volume growth.
Further strengthening InPost’s cross-border activity, Sending’s service area includes Andorra, Gibraltar, Ceuta, Melilla, the Canary Islands and the Azores, and it also provides daily transport services to Iberia from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK.
InPost’s acquisition of Sending is a cornerstone of the company’s strategic plan. With direct support from Sending’s founder, a comprehensive integration roadmap has been developed to ensure seamless operational integration.
InPost Group had 3,000 APM locker sites and 9,000 pick-up/drop-off points in Iberia at the end of the second quarter, with plans to add another 1,000 locker sites around Iberia by the end of the year.
