•Case Study: Greater Efficiency For Logistics Service Providers
By Intermec Technologies Corporation
The European logistics market offers shipping and logistics companies enormous potential for growth. Yet the tough competition requires efficiency down to the very last detail. That's why General Logistics Systems (GLS) uses printers from Intermec across Europe.
The village of Neuenstein in North Hessen, Germany, may appear very tranquil to visitors, but it has a trump card up its sleeve. Geographically speaking, the village near Kassel lies almost exactly in the centre of Germany and is also very central within Europe. The A7 autobahn provides Neuenstein with an ideal link to the trunk road network. The central location was an important factor for the logistics company General Logistics Systems Germany GmbH & Co. OHG in choosing to establish its company headquarters here.
GLS came into being with the merger of 26 medium-sized shipping companies in 1989. Today, the logistics service provider belongs to the British Royal Mail Group and is represented in 33 countries across Europe. In Germany alone, GLS transports around 500,000 packages every day. With 12,000 employees, over 4,500 delivery vehicles and 54 parcel depots throughout the country, the company has firmly established itself as the number three in the logistics market after DHL and UPS.
