Omniva set to invest €20m in parcel machine network

Omniva has announced that it is going to invest more than €20m over the next five years in the expansion of its parcel machine network, in order to make it more convenient to receive parcels in the smaller settlements of the Baltic region as well. The goal of the investment is to install new parcel machines in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and thereby significantly expand the parcel machine network of the company, which already is the biggest in the Baltics.

“As e-commerce is international and global, increasingly more business customers see the Baltics as a single integral market. Customers expect a parcels service that covers all Baltic countries,” said Omniva Board Member Ansi Arumeel.

“Plans for the procurement include purchasing different types of parcel machines for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, in order to secure our position as a market leader in the Baltics,” added Arumeel. “This will make our services accessible both in cities and smaller settlements in rural areas.”

According to Omniva: “By the end of this year, with 277 machines and combining almost 33,000 parcel boxes, Omniva will have the largest parcel machine network in the Baltics. The parcel machine network of the company grew by more than a third this year. In the coming years, the expansion is going to be even more rapid.

“Next year, Omniva is going to make its parcel machine network accessible for other partners in the Baltics, in order to further stimulate the development of e-commerce. The expansion of the network and allowing other partners to use it as well is another step made in the direction of providing a simpler parcel service to clients.”
