Asked about the level of this year’s investment budget, the Czech group’s representative did not provide any definite figures for this moment, saying only he hoped to maintain the budget at EUR5 million.
As regards the projects set to be “frozen” for the moment, these are rather global, not local ones.
In Romania, Packeta invested around EUR3 million in 2021 and reached a network of over 500 pick-up points.
Packeta’s strategy envisages expansion in all the localities of Romania with over 20,000 inhabitants, subsequently targeting smaller ones. So far, the local logistic map has been supported by two warehouses, one in Oradea and one in Bucharest, and plans for the future take new investments in warehouses.
Packeta has reached 90 employees locally and the initial 2022 plan envisaged doubling the number, but it’s not clear, yet, how things will evolve.
Packeta Romania reached EUR11.7 million turnover in 2021, after a 160% increase. For 2022, the company had aimed for a 35-40% increase.
