This year, Zásilkovna and the companies in the Packeta Group aim to reach a turnover of CZK 2 billion and 35 million consignments transported.
“We have ambitious goals for this year, too. We want to grow further by tens of per cent. As far as turnover is concerned, we want to approach CZK 2 billion. Our goal in the number of consignments transported is to strive to reach 35 million. We also want to increase the number of pick-up points in our group to 5,000, with 3,500 in the Czech Republic. Our main goal is to become a global logistics platform within three years”
For Packeta Group, the owner of Zásilkovna, 2019 was a year of historic milestones. In April, the company launched the “Mezi Námi” (Between Us) service, which allows the shipment of consignments between individuals, meaning that the group entered a new market segment. In May, Packeta Group was the first company in central and eastern Europe to offer a Z-BOT robotic pick-up point to its customers, and transport of goods to all EU countries and to Russia was launched in July. Additionally, 3 new depots were opened in Prague, Ostrava, and Hradec Králové. Packeta acquired the Zavezu courier service in December.
