SAMEDAY, the courier company with the largest out-of-home delivery network in the region continues to develop its regional delivery infrastructure and announced acquiring a new Hungarian company – Pactic Group. Following the expansion of its out-of-home delivery infrastructure in Bulgaria and Hungary, this new transaction aligns with SAMEDAY’s strategy to create an open delivery area in the region and improve its presence in both markets.
Founded in 2010, Pactic Group is a multi-brand platform that offers services to e-tailers and SMEs active in online commerce. Through its courier services resellers, Allpacka and Furgefutar, which are integral parts of the group, individual users can compare and access national and international delivery services with just a few clicks. Additionally, Pactic facilitates the complete outsourcing of logistics processes and delivery, handling approximately 3.5 million deliveries in 2023.
Headquartered in Budapest, Pactic Group has around 40 employees and recorded a turnover of around 15 million euros in 2023.
“We believe in borderless delivery services that provide customers with the same high-quality experience, whether in Romania, Hungary, or Bulgaria. Acquiring the Pactic Group is another step in SAMEDAY’s plan to improve its presence in the region. We remain committed to reaching 8,500 delivery points in the three countries we operate in by the end of the year, through new easybox units as well as the introduction of shop-in-shop solutions,” says Lucian Baltaru, CEO of SAMEDAY Group.
In April, SAMEDAY announced its intention to acquire the Hungarian courier company Sprinter. Following approval from the relevant authorities, the transaction was finalized in June. SAMEDAY and Sprinter customers, as well as new online stores choosing the courier company’s services, have access to a unified technological infrastructure tailored to the needs of modern commerce, starting in September.
SAMEDAY delivered nearly 100 million parcels regionally in 2023 and is the first Romanian courier company to expand operations beyond national borders. SAMEDAY Hungary was launched in 2020, followed by the Bulgarian branch in 2022. Currently, the company operates over 5000 out-of-home delivery points in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Since then, the number of online stores opting for cross-border shipping services has doubled, recording a 106 percent increase in 2023.
In Bulgaria, the company is already partnering with over 500 online stores operating more than 700 out-of-home delivery points in the country. The total planned investment by the SAMEDAY Group for 2024 is over €60 million, half of which will be directed towards increasing delivery capacity by expanding the out-of-home network.
