Cargus, one of Romania's leading courier companies, is expanding its portfolio with the launch of an international service, enabling its customers to ship packages from Romania to foreign destinations, initially opening routes to Bulgaria and Greece.
This marks a significant milestone in the company's international expansion strategy, with plans to include other European destinations in the near future. The service offers Romanian businesses the possibility to ship internationally, hassle-free, using the same processes they are familiar with when shipping domestically.
The new service complements Cargus' existing international network and capabilities, which facilitate shipments today from countries such as Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia to Romania.
Growth opportunity for Romanian businesses
For Romanian businesses that have not yet tapped into the potential of neighbouring markets, now is the perfect moment to do so. Using Cargus as the courier for both domestic and international shipments means ease of use: one contract, same service for both domestic and international deliveries, usage of existing shipping/e-commerce solutions combined with attractive, competitive pricing. Cargus has created its international service and rate structure in such a way that new destination countries can be added easily. News about which countries are next, and when these new destinations go live, will follow in the coming months.
"In an increasingly dynamic global context, Romanian companies require fast, efficient, and reliable solutions to expand their presence in international markets. After successfully attracting volumes to Romania, we are excited to now offer a solution for our Romanian customers that are looking to expand their businesses internationally. With the new international service, Cargus reaffirms its commitment to being a trusted partner for local businesses, offering not only high-quality courier services, but also enabling growth. Therefore, we provide our customers with access to the world's largest markets and e-commerce marketplaces, allowing them to explore new markets with limited effort and risk-free in a partnership with Cargus. We aim to facilitate their accelerated growth, by helping them to deliver products quickly and efficiently to key destinations in the region, and soon, across all of Europe," said Yannick Mooijman, CEO Cargus.
With over 30 years of experience, Cargus is the first courier company on the Romanian market. Currently, the company has over 3,000 employees and collaborators, offering a wide range of courier services: door-to-door delivery and out-of-home services through the national SHIP & GO network, which allows customers to pick up or send parcels from over 2,000 points across the country, partner points, or lockers. Cargus owns 5 national sorting centers, 2 gateway warehouses, and 36 warehouses across the country. Additionally, Cargus operates a cross-border facility in Poland for international courier services.
Moreover, in 2022, Cargus was awarded at the Courier & Postal Services Business Awards for Excellence organized by GOVNET Romania for the most impressive business growth and the best web application for delivery services. In 2021, Cargus acquired QeOPS, one of the leading providers of e-fulfillment services and customized logistics solutions in Romania, complementing the services offered to customers. Since the beginning of 2019, Cargus has been part of the Mid Europa Partners Investment Fund, one of the most active investors in Romania.
