ORLEN, DHL expand Packstations across Germany
Both companies aim to double the 160 locations that offer the service to 300 by 2023 with 50 new sites to be opened throughout the rest of 2022.
Orlen Deutschland GmbH and the Deutsche Post DHL Group are expanding their Packstation network throughout Germany at the almost 600 star and ORLEN petrol stations. The goal is to double the current offer of around 160 Packstations to over 300 by 2023. This year, the plan is to have an extra 50 stations.
“In addition to providing a range of reliable and affordable quality fuels, it is important to us to offer our customers additional services at our star and ORLEN petrol stations. The DHL Packstations are well received and we are excited about the prospect of having a DHL Packstation at more than half of our petrol stations in future,” said Piotr Guział, Chief Development Officer of Orlen Deutschland GmbH.
By 2023, DHL wants to expand the Packstation network to 15,000 machines nationwide.
“Generally, the DHL Packstations are located in everyday central places, such as supermarkets, petrol stations or also on company premises. We are thus bringing our service even closer to our customers and making parcel shipping and receiving even more climate-friendly,” added Holger Bartels, Head of Multi-Channel Sales in the Post and Parcel Division of the Deutsche Post DHL Group.
Orlen Deutschland GmbH was founded in March 2003 as a subsidiary of the Polish multi-energy corporation PKN ORLEN S.A. and part of the international ORLEN Group. The company currently operates almost 600 star and ORLEN petrol stations on the German market.
