GLS: Cross-border logistics drives global trade.
GLS has announced its partnership with ePost Global. This partnership advances GLS’ U.S. growth strategy, expanding its capability in the fast-growing cross-border e-commerce market and offering differentiated solutions for high-value trade lanes between the U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia.
GLS, part of International Distribution Services Ltd (IDS), continues to expand its global footprint and reinforce its position in high-growth e-commerce markets. The U.S., as the world’s largest e-commerce market, is an important pillar of this strategy.
Headquartered near Los Angeles, ePost Global operates through a network of over 100 partners and four strategically located U.S. gateways: Los Angeles (LAX), Chicago (ORD), New York (EWR), and Miami (MIA). These facilities consolidate shipments for air and ground transport, enabling reliable international delivery typically within 5 days. The company serves fast-growing verticals including Apparel & Accessories, Toys & Gaming, Beauty & Cosmetics, and Media Entertainment.
GLS and ePost will collaborate on technology integration and joint product and service development to deliver a superior value proposition for cross-border customers. Benefits of the partnership will be available to the wider IDS Group.
“Cross-border logistics drives global trade. By combining ePost’s e-commerce expertise with GLS’ delivery capabilities, we can create smarter, more seamless connections for both B2C and B2B customers across the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia and beyond,” said Karl Pfaff, CEO of GLS Group.
“This partnership with GLS marks an important milestone in ePost Global’s evolution. GLS’ network and delivery capabilities, combined with our gateway infrastructure and global partnerships, create a powerful platform for serving the growing cross-border market,” said Fabrizio ‘Pep’ Alvear, Co-President of ePost Global.
“At ePost, we’ve built a platform that simplifies international shipping for businesses of all sizes. By joining forces with GLS, we can offer even greater efficiency, visibility, and service quality for customers across high-growth cross-border markets,” said Kelly Martinez, Co-President of ePost Global.
Together, GLS and ePost are positioned to accelerate growth on transatlantic and other strategic trade lanes, while strengthening long-term competitiveness in the global e-commerce market.
