Already in 2018, the company is to install at least 120 new parcel terminals -- 50 in Estonia, 20 in Latvia and 50 in Lithuania. The investment plan is to be concluded in 2019, DPD said.
"Data from our recent studied show that private persons clearly prefer parcel terminals over the door-to-door courier service and this trend is growing. Therefore we are planning large investments in developing the parcel terminal network," DPD Eesti CEO Rainer Rohtla said in a press release.
"The large number of parcel terminals and people preferring them is a particular feature of Estonia and the Baltic countries compared with other European countries, and Estonia especially stands out in this regard," he added.
DPD is to invest nearly 5 million euros in the parcel terminal network of the Baltic countries.
DPD is the second-largest international parcel distribution service provider in Europe. The company has nearly 200 couriers and more than 180 vehicles in Estonia and employs 127 people. DPD has 127 parcel terminals in Estonia, 139 in Latvia and 91 in Lithuania.
