Czech group Packeta operates as a logistic platform with physical entities in seven countries, including Romania. Present on the Romanian market since 2017, Coletaria.ro will change its name to Packeta Romania this year.
The group works with over 30,000 online stores and sellers and in Romania has partnerships with 1,600 of them.
Beside the expanding network of pick-up points, Coletaria.ro also owns two warehouses in Romania of around 4,000 square metres each, one in Bucharest and one in Oradea.
Jeleascov said the company switched to largest warehouses and was considering further warehouses, with one of them likely to be opened in 2021 and the next in the coming years.
Relocation to larger warehouse spaces in Romania is part of a EUR3 million investment plan for 2021.
In terms of headcount, Coletaria.ro last year went from 10 to 40 employees and in 2021 wants to reach 80 employees domestically.
The number of parcels delivered on the domestic market doubled in 2020, and for 2021 the company sees an over 30% increase. As regards turnover, Coletaria.ro ended 2020 with EUR4.5 million turnover.
