GLS Package Delivery Service

General Logistics Systems B.V., commonly known as GLS, is a leading European provider of parcel, logistics, and express services. Founded in 1999 through the acquisition of the German company German Parcel, the brand has grown into a massive network covering over 40 countries through its own subsidiaries and partner networks.

While the brand has its roots in German logistics infrastructure, it is currently headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It operates as a high-tech logistics network, utilizing regional hubs and local distribution centers across Europe and North America to manage millions of shipments annually.

GLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Distributions Services (IDS), the same parent group that owns the UK's Royal Mail. This ownership structure places the ultimate control within a major international postal and logistics group based in the United Kingdom, ensuring the brand remains a dominant player in the global shipping industry.
