FOCUS - The parcel delivery subsidiary, already present in 47 countries, wants to double in size by 2025. Its profits have doubled in 2020.


"GeoPost will exceed the 10 billion euros turnover mark over the year"

, argued in July 2020 Boris Winkelmann, CEO of this subsidiary of La Poste.

This parcel delivery specialist did better than keep its promise: in 2020, its revenues reached 11 billion thanks to a 42% growth in activity.

In March, our volumes fell by 30%.
