InPost, a Polish parcel locker provider, is set to be acquired by a consortium led by FedEx and private equity firm Advent in a deal valued at €7.8 billion. This acquisition, announced in early February 2026, aims to facilitate InPost’s growth across the UK and Europe. The consortium proposes an offer of €15.60 per share, a significant premium over InPost's recent stock prices, signalling strong investor confidence in its potential for expansion. After the deal's completion, expected in the latter half of 2026, InPost will maintain its headquarters in Poland and continue as an independent entity, retaining its brand identity and leadership under founder Rafal Brzoska. The acquisition will bolster InPost’s existing network of parcel lockers, doubling locations in the UK from 14,000 to 30,000 and enhancing its operations in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Benelux region. This move reflects the growing demand for convenient delivery solutions driven by rising e-commerce activity and underscores FedEx's strategic focus on expanding last-mile capabilities to enhance customer service. Raj Subramaniam, the chief executive of FedEx, emphasized the collaboration post-transaction which will integrate InPost’s last-mile services within FedEx’s broader logistics network. The parties involved anticipate that the transaction will allow InPost to operate more efficiently, eliminating costs associated with being publicly listed and reducing reliance on market fluctuations.
