GLS to expand in Germany

General Logistics Systems (GLS), Europe’s third-largest parcel delivery service, is planning to expand on the German market. The company wishes to have an extensive network of its own branches throughout Europe in future, and is aiming to raise the number of outlets it operates in various retail stores in Germany from 2,500 to 5,000 within the next year. In particular, the company is hoping to lure private customers away from German postal service operator Deutsche Post.
