Omniva’s growth in Latvia is worthy of an Oscar in logistics

Omniva’s growth numbers in Latvia reached the finals of the most renowned postal and logistics award World Mail Awards (WMA).

„It is a great accomplishment. Omniva is the only company in the Baltics that has managed to join up with the best and is competing for the World Mail Awards,“ commented Joona Saluveer, Omniva SIA Member of the Board.

According to Saluveer, Omniva’s growth in 2014 in Latvia was impressive. The number of parcels sent via parcel machines tripled within a year. This was also the reason why the network of parcel machines in Latvia was extended by eight: new locations include Limbazi, Madona, Gulbene, Bauska, Dobele and Salaspils. Existing parcel machines were upgraded in Daugavpils, Jelgava, Ventspils, Riga and Ogre. In total, the number of parcel machine compartments in Latvia was increased by a third.

The growth is still ongoing in 2015. The number of parcels sent by private customers in Latvia has increased by 35% for today, even when compared with the traditional high period during the December of 2014. „The jury’s decision to place us amongst the three best postal and logistics companies in the category of growth shows that our strategy has been successful,“ noted Saluveer.

Last year Omniva extended the parcel machine network not only in Latvia, but also in Estonia and Lithuania. After 2014 extension, Omniva has 189 parcel machines in the Baltic states: 98 in Estonia, 46 in Latvia and 45 in Lithuania.
