This latest strategic move further aligned with the commitment of GLS to expand our organization’s footprint in the Canadian market.

Today, with the integration of the Rosenau Group and Altimax Courier, GLS Canada is an enviable national transportation provider that integrates warehousing, logistics, freight and parcel operations in a single infrastructure, which includes a real estate portfolio of sixty-five (65) terminals located across Canada, twenty-six (26) of which properties are fully owned by GLS Canada, as sole landlord. This portfolio includes important and vast hubs located in Montreal, Brampton, Edmonton and Vancouver.
