KYIV. April 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Nova Poshta (Kyiv) plans to expand its operation in international markets in 2015, the co-founder of the company Viacheslav Klimov said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
He said that two companies – Nova Poshta Moldova and Nova Poshta Georgia – were previously created and that test deliveries to the countries have been made.
“We’ve faced rather serious obstacles linked to Ukrainian law in the customs area. These are external factors for us with which we could work. There are Nova Poshta employees in the two countries, and they are working on the organization of deliveries from/to Ukraine and in the domestic market of the countries,” he said.
Klimov said that the two countries differ considerably.
“If Georgia is a European country with large influence and presence of leaders of global express delivery, in Moldova there is no such market, and the main problem is to explain what we offer, as it was in Ukraine in early 2000s. Anyway, we’re satisfied with starting this market venture, despite the crisis. This is a huge experience, and we believe it [to be] an element of development. I’m absolutely sure that in 2014 Nova Poshta would appear in several other countries,” he said.
Klimov did not disclose what other countries the company plans to enter.
When asked if the strategy is justified, Klimov said that it is absolutely justified, as Ukraine is becoming more and more open for Europe and the world each day, despite the events happening in Ukraine.
