GLS is set to partner with ePost Global as it advances its US growth strategy. The partnership will expand GLS’ offering in the cross-border e-commerce market and enable it to offer differentiated solutions for high-value trade lanes between the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.
GLS, part of International Distribution Services (IDS), targets the expansion of its global footprint by positioning itself in high growth e-commerce markets, making the partnership a significant milestone in this strategy.
The partners 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.
Headquartered near Los Angeles, ePost Global operates through a network of over 100 partners and four strategically located US gateways: Los Angeles (LAX), Chicago (ORD), New York (EWR), and Miami (MIA). These facilities consolidate shipments for air and ground transportation, enabling reliable international delivery typically within five days. The company serves verticals including apparel and accessories, toys and gaming, beauty and cosmetics, and media entertainment.
“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 US, 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 Alvear, co-president and managing partner of ePost Global.
