GLS and Borussia Dortmund: Two strong partners on a par
For one never just a game, for the other never just a package.
Two ambitious players are now one team: GLS Germany and Bundesliga football team Borussia Dortmund.
As one of the leading parcel and express services in Germany, we have been Champion Partner of the Borussians since July 2021 and are therefore also BVB's official logistics partner. The claim is the same: to inspire our customers and always deliver on time.
GLS is committed to supporting top-level sports in Germany
Our main focus is in athletics. As well as the German Track and Field Association (DLV - Deutscher Leichtathletik-Verband), GLS also supports Julian Reus, Germany’s fastest sprinter, and Gesa Krause, 2016 and 2018 European Champion 3,000 metres steeplechase.

Together over all obstacles
Since spring 2019 GLS supports the steeplechase runner Gesa Felicitas Krause. The German record holder in the 3,000 m steeplechase, two-time European champion and bronze medal winner at the 2019 World Championships stands for both sporting success and special fairness in competition. As part of the cooperation she integrates GLS into her social media activities.
