PostNL has acquired PS Nachtdistributie, a leading player in overnight distribution in the Benelux region, as part of its strategy to become the leading logistics e-commerce company in the Benelux market. The company explained that the latest acquisition will allow it to meet customer needs even more effectively and is in line with a growing demand for flexibility from both parcel shippers and recipients and the growing popularity of same-day delivery services.
“We are always looking for opportunities and new trends and developments in the parcel delivery market and will continue to enhance and expand PostNL’s networks. Overnight parcel delivery is certainly part of that strategy, as it is a way of sidestepping the busy traffic we see on roads and city centres during the daytime,” Gerrit Mastenbroek, Parcels & Logistics Director at PostNL, said.
