FedEx Gains Access To One Of The Europe’s Most Advanced Parcel-locker Networks

One of Poland’s largest logistics and ecommerce delivery companies, InPost, is entering a new phase after being acquired by a consortium of international investors in a deal valued at around €7.8 billion.

The buyer group includes FedEx, Advent International, PPF Group and A&R Investments, the investment vehicle of InPost founder Rafał Brzoska. The transaction reshapes the company’s ownership structure and is designed to support InPost’s next stage of international growth.

Who Owns InPost After The Deal?

Under the new structure, ownership of InPost is split between four major shareholders:

  • FedEx – 37%

  • Advent International – 37%

  • A&R Investments (Rafał Brzoska) – 16%

  • PPF Group – 10%

While InPost already had Advent, PPF and A&R among its investors before the transaction, the big change is the entry of FedEx as a strategic shareholder. Previously, about half of InPost’s shares were held by dispersed minority investors.

FedEx Steps Into European Ecommerce Logistics

FedEx’s move into InPost gives the US logistics giant a strong position in Europe’s rapidly growing out-of-home delivery market, where parcel lockers and pickup points are becoming essential for ecommerce.

Founded in 1971, FedEx operates in more than 220 countries and territories and employs around 47,000 people in Europe alone. By acquiring 37% of InPost, FedEx gains access to one of the continent’s most advanced parcel-locker networks — a key asset for fast and cost-efficient last-mile delivery.

What The Investors Bring To The Table

  • PPF Group, a major Czech investment group with assets exceeding €41 billion, will hold 10% of InPost. The company is active across Europe, Asia and North America and has a strong background in finance, telecoms and infrastructure.

  • Advent International, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, will own 37%. Advent specialises in scaling private companies and preparing them for long-term growth or future exits.

  • A&R Investments, owned by InPost founder Rafał Brzoska, will retain 16%, keeping the founder directly involved in the company’s future direction.

Focus On European Expansion

Announcing the deal, Brzoska said the new ownership structure will help InPost accelerate its expansion across European markets and strengthen its delivery network. The goal is to reach more consumers while offering faster and more flexible ecommerce delivery options.

With FedEx now on board, InPost gains not only capital but also global logistics expertise — a combination that could significantly boost its position as one of Europe’s leading ecommerce delivery platforms.
