International consortium led by FedEx acquires InPost for €15.60 per share, ending Polish ownership control.
Acquisition Details
A consortium including funds managed by Advent International, FedEx Corporation, A&R Investments, and PPF Group has agreed to acquire all shares in InPost at €15.60 per share, a 50% premium compared to the company’s stock price at the beginning of January. The offer for 100% of the shares will be announced as soon as possible after obtaining required regulatory approvals.
The entire InPost group has been valued at €7.8 billion (approximately 32.9 billion Polish zloty). As a result of this transaction, the Polish company, which has become a leader in the European parcel locker market, is losing control from domestic investors.
New Ownership Structure
In the new owner’s structure, foreign entities will play a dominant role. FedEx Corporation and Advent International will each hold 37% of the company’s shares. A&R Investments, the investment vehicle of Rafał Brzoski, will retain 16% of the shares, while PPF Group, the Czech holding, will take 10% of the shares.
This means that the decisive vote in the company passes to international capital, and InPost ceases to be a company with Polish ownership control.
Strategic Implications
FedEx’s entry into InPost’s shareholder structure is strategic. The American logistics operator gains significant influence over the future direction of the European parcel locker leader. For InPost, this means access to logistical support, know-how, and operational scale that it would not achieve on its own in a short time.
At the same time, the transaction definitively ends the period in which InPost operated as a Polish technological and logistics champion. From the moment the transaction is closed, the company will become part of a global capital ecosystem where key decisions will be made outside of Poland.
Operational Continuity
Under the terms of the agreement, Rafał Brzoska remains CEO and retains a significant share package through A&R Investments. The company declares it will maintain operational independence, its current business profile, and keep its main operational headquarters and key management team in Poland.
One of the key goals of the transaction is to delist InPost from the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. After the offer for all shares is announced and successful, the company will cease to be listed on the public market.
Market Context
The acquisition process still requires obtaining regulatory approvals, including antitrust authorities in various jurisdictions. The expected closing of the transaction is planned for the second half of 2026.
InPost’s acquisition by an international consortium including FedEx is part of a broader trend of consolidation in the European logistics market. Companies that recently developed as local or regional players are increasingly becoming targets for global investors seeking ready-made platforms for further expansion.
Although InPost remains operationally in Poland and its founder still leads the company, ownership and strategic decisions will be made within an international structure with a dominant share of American and Western capital.
