Designed with sustainability in mind, the 2,000 m² facility features advanced technology and automated sorting systems that boost operational capacity and streamline the logistics process.
Madrid, 15 January 2025 – GLS Spain has expanded its distribution network with the opening of a new logistics hub in Mos (Pontevedra). This state-of-the-art facility is designed to meet growing demand while maintaining the company’s commitment to high-quality service. The new hub will increase parcel processing capacity and improve connections with local agencies, ensuring greater efficiency in deliveries.
Strategically located in the Rebullón industrial park, the hub offers direct access to the AP-9 and AP-52 motorways, improving logistical links with the rest of the country.
The 2,000m² facility incorporates innovative systems such as a bulk return conveyor and electric pop-up sorters to efficiently handle high volumes of parcels. Its automated sortation line, with a capacity of up to 3,000 parcels per hour, ensures agile management during peak periods such as Black Friday and the festive season.
These technological enhancements, along with the addition of 36 van bays and two trailer bays, significantly improve daily operations and optimise the flow of parcels in the region.
As will all GLS Spain’s processes and facilities, sustainability was a key consideration in this design, as evidenced by the energy-efficient automation systems. The hub is also prepared for the installation of electric vehicle chargers, supporting GLS Spain’s transition to an expanded electric vehicle fleet and its efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
The new facility also provides a comfortable and functional environment for employees. Its 200 m² of office space, spread over two floors, includes a cafeteria, rest areas and facilities adapted for people with reduced mobility.
“With the opening of this new hub, GLS Spain is further expanding its infrastructure network and strengthening its commitment to innovation and sustainability as core priorities. This strategy allows us to enhance efficiency and provide fast, dependable service”, said Daniel Arjones, Northwest Division Manager at GLS Spain.
