Packeta expands to the Adriatic region
We have some exciting news to share! We´ve recently opened our seventh official international entity, Packeta Adriatic. This entity will start in Slovenia and gradually we´ll enlist more countries from the Adriatic region.
After expanding to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, and Germany over the course of only 5 years, we wanted to hit the brakes a a little and focus on thorough development of the entity countries. Our last entity, Packeta Germany, was opened in 2018. Since then, we grew our pick-up point network expansively, opened two robotic depots, launched Packeta mobile app, introduced several sustainable projects, attended hundreds of events, and culminated over 2 000 employees. And this year, it´s time to set off on a journey again and discover the potential of the Adriatic region.
The Slovene market holds enormous opportunity for us. The local e-commerce market had experienced a significant boom over the past couple of years, with the Covid era playing an important part in the rapid growth same as in most countries. The largest market sectors are fashion, electronics, food & personal care, home goods, and toys & hobby, which is also reflected by the fact that over 40% of goods we´ve transported across Slovenia are from the fashion industry.
Time for some interesting numbers
#didyouknowthat
- Packeta has already integrated close to 100 Slovene clients who ship with us daily.
- We are cooperating with 2 local partner carriers in Slovenia, DPD and the Post of Slovenia, to provide our customers the maximum level of comfort in parcel delivery.
- The first Slovene partner carrier was launched back in 2020.
- Since then, we´ve delivered over 700 000 parcels to this region.
- Sadly we do not have our Packeta products installed in Slovenia yet, but we offer a wide network of partner pick-up points that counts almost 1 300 locations, including several automated locker boxes.
We want to make our mark in Slovene e-commerce and focus on growing our presence in the B2B sector. We are keen to introduce our services and solutions to clients in Slovenia, establish new meaningful partnerships, and keep revolutionizing e-commerce moving forward. And in time, we hope to launch our incredible products such as Packeta pick-up points, Z-BOXes, or the app here as well!
