GLS integrates its U.S and European networks

Royal Mail has announced that its subsidiary, GLS, has agreed to acquire Canadian logistics company Rosenau Transport.

GLS Group announced the successful integration of GLS US services with its European network, allowing direct parcel delivery between the U.S. and Europe. This strategic initiative marks a significant step in connecting GLS US with the GLS Group’s European network, spanning 40 countries, while enhancing transatlantic parcel delivery capabilities and expanding service offerings for customers.

Dr. Karl Pfaff, Chief Executive of GLS Group, commented: “Bringing together GLS US services with our European network is a milestone in our global journey. By linking the U.S. with Europe, we are opening the door to expanded services and markets for our customers.”

Milo Kars, Managing Director of GLS International, added: “Integrating with our European network is an exciting development for us. It bridges the service between the U.S. and our leading, vast European ground-based network, offering enhanced parcel delivery solutions and direct access to new markets. This demonstrates our commitment to providing superior international service from a single source.”

The integration combines GLS’ ground-based strengths in Europe with its U.S. operations, offering near express-level transit times, live tracking and flexible redirection options at competitive rates, ensuring a seamless, high-quality experience for customers across both regions.

As GLS continues to expand its international presence, the next step will be integrating Canada into its network, further strengthening its transatlantic service offering.
