05.10.2025 | Polish Competition Authority (DKK)
The Polish Competition Authority (UOKiK) issued Decision No DKK-236/2025 on October 6, 2025, approving the merger between DHL eCommerce (Poland) sp. z o.o. and APM Solutions sp. z o.o. The decision was made following a request from DHL eCommerce and did not involve any contentious issues or disputes between the parties.
According to the decision, the merger will allow DHL eCommerce to take control of APM Solutions, enhancing its operational capabilities in the Polish market. The authority determined that the merger would not significantly impede effective competition in the market.
As the decision was fully in line with the request from the parties involved, UOKiK opted not to provide a detailed justification for the approval. This indicates that the merger was straightforward and did not raise any significant antitrust concerns.
Parties have the right to appeal the decision to the District Court in Warsaw within one month of receiving the decision, but given the nature of the approval, it is unlikely that an appeal will be pursued.
