Greenberg Traurig has advised InPost Group on its GBP 60.4 million acquisition of the remaining 70% of Menzies Distribution Group, giving it full control over Menzies’ Express and Newstrade operations. Walker Morris reportedly advised the sellers.
InPost is a Polish-based parcel locker and e-commerce delivery company expanding its logistics capabilities in the UK. According to Greenberg Traurig, the acquisition enables InPost to fully control its UK logistics process and investment plan, allowing it to scale rapidly to meet increasing consumer demand in the UK's e-commerce market.
Menzies Distribution Group is a UK-based logistics company. According to Greenberg Traurig, its third segment, MDS, responsible for full-load transport and warehousing, was demerged from Menzies and is not part of the transaction. InPost will retain a 30% shareholding in MDS, which will continue to be run by its existing management team.
In 2023, Greenberg Traurig advised InPost on its acquisition of a 30% Stake in Menzies Distribution (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on July 26, 2023).
The Greenberg Traurig team included Warsaw-based Partner and Shareholder Rafal Baranowski and additional team members in London.
