Nova Post Expands Delivery Services in Poland Through Partnership with Orlen Paczka

Nova Post in Poland has begun collaborating with Orlen Paczka—a network of approximately 6,500 pickup points and 8.5 parcel lockers—according to a company announcement posted Thursday on LinkedIn.

“We are constantly improving our logistics solutions to support business growth and ensure convenience for customers at every stage of delivery,” the company emphasized. Nova Post had previously partnered with InPost, Poland’s largest network, which operates over 35,000 pickup points, more than 27,000 of which are parcel lockers.
For its part, Orlen Paczka noted that the partnership with Nova Post is another step toward opening up its infrastructure to companies operating in the international market.

According to the press release, the service is available for the delivery of S, M, and L-sized packages weighing up to 20 kg.

Jakub Karon, CEO of Nova Post in Poland, said in an interview with Wiadomości Handlowe in June of this year that the company had a total of 122 branches throughout Poland, including 30 company-owned branches, 16 franchise branches, 31 mini-branches, and 45 PUDO branches, and its plan for 2026 is to open approximately 300 more branches. He emphasized that the Polish parcel locker market is oversaturated, so Nova Post currently has no plans to build its own network and will instead expand in this market through partnerships.

In 2021, the Polish conglomerate Orlen launched the Orlen Paczka postal service with its own pickup points and parcel lockers. In 2024, the service entered into a strategic partnership with Allegro, Poland’s largest marketplace.
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.

Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of Nova Poshta, noted during 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 strategic focus on ensuring the fastest possible delivery times.
In the first half of 2026, 239 new service points were opened in Europe, bringing the total number of Nova Post’s own service points abroad to more than 950. Moldova and Poland led the expansion in the first half of the year, with 112 and 80 new service points, respectively. In addition, five Nova Post partner pickup points opened in New York in June.
