“The collaboration with KEBA allows us to rapidly and efficiently expand our network in Southern Europe. Parcel lockers play a key role in our strategy to offer our customers even greater flexibility and convenience,” says Johan Holstein, Last Mile Director at GLS Group.
“The new parcel lockers in Italy, Spain and Portugal will give our customers even more independence when receiving and sending parcels – at locations that seamlessly integrate into their daily routines,” he adds.
This initiative is a direct response to the growing demand for sustainable and user-friendly alternatives to traditional home delivery. The parcel lockers will be installed at strategic locations to ensure optimal accessibility and enhance customer service.

KEBA as a partner in parcel logistics solutions
For the technical implementation, GLS collaborates with KEBA, applying its expertise in automation and parcel logistics. The Austrian company has been developing reliable and future-proof parcel lockers for more than two decades. In addition to supplying the hardware, KEBA provides software and service solutions to support implementation and long-term maintenance.
“2025 marks a special year for KEBA Logistics Automation. Twenty-five years ago, the first ideas emerged for a customer-friendly solution to handle the increasing volume of parcels. Today, we are excited to shape the logistics landscape in Southern Europe together with GLS and to implement forward-thinking solutions for flexible and customer-centric parcel delivery,” says Cesar Lapuerta, Sales Director at KEBA.
