How is Polonez America faring in the market?
Celebrating the first anniversary of Polonez America in its new form, I am delighted to report that over this year, we have delivered nearly one hundred thousand packages, connecting Polish families in the USA with their loved ones in Poland and worldwide. This translates into thousands of satisfied customers in the United States and Poland. We achieved this success through the dedication of our team and a solid operational foundation. We are genuinely proud of this. Our growth and expansion continue as we collaborate with new agents and introduce new services - we eagerly anticipate more successes.
What happened to Polonez Parcel Service?
Polonez Parcel Service (PPS) was established in 1980. Over 30 years, it grew into a powerful brand recognized worldwide. In 2017, PPS was acquired by a private equity investor. The company continued operations but could not meet its financial obligations, abruptly ceasing operations in March 2023. As a result, all team members were immediately relieved of their duties. Cargo transport also suffered; 18 sea containers with around 12,000 packages and numerous commercial goods were stranded at the port of Hamburg.
In April 2023, the International Logistics Group Meest learned of this tragic situation and intervened. Meest acquired the assets of Polonez Parcel Service, including the Polonez brands (along with Doma Export and International Package Shipping). Subsequently, Meest formed a new independent company named Polonez America.
Polonez America was officially registered in April 2024. No liabilities, debts, or contracts of Polonez Parcel Service were transferred to the new company. All indebtedness of Polonez Parcel Service remained with PPS and is unrelated to Polonez America.
However, despite Polonez America not having any obligations to PPS customers whose packages were stuck in unpaid containers, the company voluntarily decided to help and deliver these shipments at its own expense - which was substantial. Nearly one million dollars was spent to release the containers and deliver the packages to recipients.
Polonez America was not obligated to spend this amount, and from the beginning, it was clear that recovering these costs would be impractical. Nonetheless, it was simply the right thing to do.
Eighteen containers containing approximately 12,000 packages were successfully delivered to their recipients. Additionally, Polonez America reached out to employees affected by PPS's closure and offered them positions in the newly established company.
Is there a chance of a similar situation recurring?
Not. I want to dispel doubts or concerns; we are confident in our infrastructure and market position. Since early 2024, we have partnered with 28 new agents and continuously opened new locations. Our goal is to provide seamless and convenient package shipping from anywhere in the USA. Hence, we launched an online service allowing packages to be sent directly from any location using a smartphone. Our customers can send their parcels online via our website, and a courier will pick them up from their home at a convenient time and deliver them to our warehouse for shipment to Poland. Polonez America is now more vital than ever before.
Is Polonez America a Ukrainian company?
Polonez America is part of the Meest Global Logistics Group, established by the international company Meest Corporation Inc. in Toronto, Canada, in 1989. Meest operates offices in the USA, Canada, China, UK, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Poland, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, and many other countries - totaling over 30 offices worldwide. The shipping network includes brands such as Meest-America Inc., Meest Corporation, Meest International, Meest Post, and Meest Polska, half of which are based in Poland. Meest Group oversees more than 50 entities, all independently operated companies. Polonez America remains a Polish brand with Polish leadership and employees. Our US office is located in Port Reading, NJ, and we collaborate with a broad network of partners in Poland and globally.
