InPost to take over market peer

Poland’s biggest privately-owned postal operator InPost is taking over number two in the sector, Polska Grupa Pocztowa (PGP), InPost CEO Rafał Brzoska told Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. InPost and its parent company Integer were waiting for a court ruling on the legality of a tender won by PGP, Brzoska said. State-owned Polish Post had appealed against the result of the tender regarding the delivery of court notices, but lost the case. “I think that over the next several days the acquisition process will gain formal ground with a signed document that we will report in a market filing,” Brzoska added. InPost has about 7,700 outlets at present, which will now constitute one network with 1,300 outlets managed by PGP. Polish Post manages a network of 7,500 offices.
