Nova Post in the Czech Republic plans to invest over 6 million Czech korunas (over $288,000 at the current exchange rate) this year in scaling up its logistics system, which will include 7-day-a-week delivery, next-day service, pickup within an hour, as well as delivery and pickup of oversized parcels, according to a company statement on Thursday.
“We are seeing rapid growth in demand for international logistics and a high level of trust, as evidenced by the year-over-year increase in shipment volumes. That is why we have partnered with the Czech division of UPS and now deliver to 187 additional countries and regions around the world,” Nova Post CEO in the Czech Republic Andriy Artemenko is quoted as saying in the release.
He noted that by the end of 2026, the company also plans to open 30 new branches and launch another 2,500 service points.
The company added that Nova Post in the Czech Republic currently handles customs clearance of shipments independently. In addition, the company has connected another network of 570 parcel lockers—OX Box—bringing the total number of delivery lockers to over 3,500: ALZA box, GLS, and OX Box.
As reported, last year the NOVA Group handled 522 million shipments, 29 million of which were in Europe. The group, which currently ranks 30th globally in parcel volume among express delivery and postal services, aims to enter the top 20 by 2030 and increase the number of shipments to 2 billion.
Co-owner of the leading express delivery company “Nova Poshta” Vyacheslav Klimov noted at the “Dialogues with NV” event dedicated to European integration that Nova Post Europe, part of the NOVA Group, plans to double its network of branches in Europe by 2026 and keep its strategy focused on ensuring maximum delivery speed.
The main activity of Nova Post, the NOVA Group’s primary asset, is the express delivery of documents, parcels, and palletized oversized cargo. Its ultimate beneficial owners are Volodymyr Poperechnyuk and Vyacheslav Klimov.
