A consortium led by Advent International and FedEx has agreed to acquire European parcel locker operator InPost for €15.60 per share, valuing the company at approximately €7.8bn ($9.2bn), according to a report by Reuters.
The offer represents a 17% premium to InPost’s closing price on Friday, with Amsterdam-listed shares jumping 14% on Monday to May 2025 highs.
InPost, which operates automated parcel machines across nine countries including its home market Poland, has expanded through acquisitions such as UK delivery firm Yodel and a Spanish logistics company, though rapid growth investments have limited near-term profitability.
Under the deal, Advent and FedEx will each hold 37%, InPost CEO Rafal Brzoska’s A&R vehicle will retain 16%, and Czech investment firm PPF will hold 10%. The company will continue operating under its current name and management structure from its Polish headquarters. The transaction is expected to close in H2 2026 and aims to extend InPost’s footprint across Europe, including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Benelux, and the UK.
