The courier company DPD Romania is opening a new regional hub in Brasov, covering an area of over 4,000 square meters, which will significantly reduce the transit time of parcels from the North-East region of the country. The investment amounts to over half a million euros and is part of DPD Romania's continuous development plans, a member of the international group Geopost, Europe's largest road courier.
The investment in the Brasov HUB involves equipping the warehouse with modern sorting systems (conveyors) from local manufacturers. The new hub will have 3,800 square meters of storage space, with an additional 200 square meters for offices. There will be 10 docks for trucks and 30 loading gates for couriers' parcels. The processing capacity of the Brasov hub will thus increase from 15,000 to over 40,000 parcels per day.
The new hub will be served by over 100 employees who will ensure the logistical processes, along with 50 local couriers and subcontractors, and will represent, due to its geographical position, an important location for the company's transit routes.
"The Brasov HUB will be connected to warehouses in Bacau, Buzau, Arad, Oradea, and Cluj-Napoca, and by taking over volumes transited through Sibiu, the processing capacity for parcels coming from Europe will increase. These parcels were previously only processed in the hubs in Oradea and Arad. Essentially, thanks to the Brasov hub, we will significantly reduce the transit time for parcels for 25% of the network volumes," explained Radu Sticea, COO of DPD Romania.
The Brasov HUB also serves as a transit point for parcels to Western Europe. The network development is important for sending parcels from Romanian companies that have identified the opportunity to sell throughout Europe and to ship through DPD Romania to countries such as Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, etc.
