FedEx Acquires Stake in InPost to Expand European Delivery Network
FedEx has partnered with Polish logistics company InPost as part of a $9 billion tender offer aimed at expanding its presence across Europe. The deal, led by FedEx and private equity firm Advent International, will allow InPost to remain independent while leveraging the U.S.-based delivery giant's resources for growth. InPost was founded in 2007 when entrepreneur Rafal Brzoska found a loophole in Poland’s postal system that allowed him to bypass state monopolies. The company has since grown into one of Europe’s largest parcel locker networks, with over 70,000 machines across nine countries and plans for further expansion. FedEx sees InPost as key to strengthening its position against European rivals like DHL and DPD by integrating the Polish firm's infrastructure. Brzoska will continue leading InPost while FedEx supports strategic growth initiatives.
