The company has three major investment projects in progress in 2021 – the opening of its third logistics center, continuation of the switch to digital processes and development of its own transportation fleet. This year’s investment budget stands at RON5.2 million, higher than last year.
The company has a pharmaceutical warehouse in Ilfov and one in Cluj and plans to open a third in Bacau this year, which will enable it to cover Moldavia. Dona Logistica has a fleet of 83 vehicles, 73 of which equipped with temperature control systems.
Dona Logistica doubled profit to RON7.4 million in 2020. It has 175 employees and plans to hire more. It is also aiming for RON1.25 billion revenue in 2021.
The wholesaler was established by Eugen Banciu, also owner of the Dona retail pharmacy chain, in 2014, when the law required pharmaceutical companies to separate their wholesale and retail operations.
Dona was not physician Eugen Banciu’s first pharmaceutical wholesale business, as he established Farmexpert in 1996, which he later sold to Alliance Boots in 2013.
