Electrical connections for the transport of parcels

GLS launches new International ShopDeliveryService to extend its cross-border service portfolio
GLS, leading international parcel service provider, launches its new International ShopDeliveryService for shipments to 17 countries across Europe as of December 1st, with more serviced nations to follow.
GLS places the recipient at the heart of the delivery experience through the deployment of its geolocated parcel tracking solution to all its BtoC clients.
Launched in 2021, the intuitive and high-performing mobile marketing solution Track & Engage© has transformed delivery into an immersive brand experience. Building on this success, GLS announces the rollout of its solution to all its BtoC clients and e-commerce partners across 100% of the territory. GLS thus becomes the first carrier in France to offer this geolocated tracking experience to all individual recipients.
With GLS's "Belgium 24h" service, Belgian and Luxembourgish recipients receive their orders in just 24 hours.
GLS, a specialist in delivery and parcel shipping up to 30kg for businesses and individuals, is accelerating the development of new services. The company now offers its corporate and e-commerce clients the option of 24-hour parcel delivery to Belgium and Luxembourg from the northern region of France and the Parisian area. This delivery solution was previously only provided by express services at a higher cost.
With its six logistic platforms spread across both countries, any parcel handed in before 8:30 PM in Paris or midnight in Lille will be delivered the next day throughout Belgium or Luxembourg.

Women's Rights Day 2022
GLS France, a committed player in the fight against stereotypes about the place of women in the transport and logistics sector
The share of women in industry, construction and logistics is still very low and is generally associated with many clichés. According to INSEE, of the 87 occupational groups listed, only 18 are considered to be mixed, that is with a ratio of 60% to 40% between the two sexes. The situation is particularly glaring in the industrial sector, where women are still in the minority.
Nevertheless, some players stand out and implement HR policies based on total equality. This is the case at GLS France, a parcel delivery company, which promotes female role models within its corporate culture.
