GLS Italy Expands Pick-up Network Through Quadient Partnership

GLS, a prominent express delivery service in Italy, is reinforcing its e-commerce delivery capabilities by partnering with Quadient. This collaboration aims to expand GLS's Out of Home network with open, carrier-agnostic parcel lockers. This strategic move will enhance flexibility and improve customer experience for Italian consumers.

With over 10,000 existing shipping and collection points, GLS Italy is already a significant player in the market. The addition of over 100 branded parcel lockers in Italian cities like Milan and Rome marks a substantial expansion. Collaboration with major retail brands and shopping centers will further increase locker accessibility in high-traffic areas.

Under the five-year agreement, GLS will introduce hundreds of new Quadient lockers, concentrated initially in central and northern Italy. This effort aims to offer consumers more delivery options and improve efficiency, aligning with the growing preference for alternatives to home delivery.
