This strategic move is a response to the increasing demand for logistics services driven by the rapid growth of ecommerce in Romania, the second largest market in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), being aligned with HelpShip's commitment to providing efficient and reliable logistics solutions to its growing portfolio of clients from the ecommerce sector.
The prime location of the warehouse within the industrial park CTPark Oradea Cargo Terminal ensures seamless connectivity to key transportation routes, facilitating swift and cost-effective distribution of goods. With its fulfillment center strategically located in CTPark Oradea Cargo Terminal, HelpShip achieves next-day deliveries to both Romania and Hungary, 48h for deliveries to Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia and 3 to 5 working days for deliveries to the rest of the EU. The Oradea logistics hub also offers a direct connection to Ruse (Bulgaria), Zagreb (Croatia), Senec (Slovakia) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) through a daily linehaul route. Thus, ensuring swift and reliable shipments transit to and from these other key CEE hubs.
"Oradea's prime location near the Hungarian border makes it a key gateway for businesses aiming to set up in both Romania and Hungary. The CTPark Oradea Cargo Terminal, connected to the Airport Oradea, continues to be a preferred choice for companies looking to serve western Romania and neighboring markets. We're excited to welcome HelpShip, an ambitious entrepreneurial company, to our growing community”, said Aurel Cîrstea, Business Development Manager, CTP Romania.
With the surge in online shopping, fueled by factors such as the recent AI boom, the ongoing global digitalization, and the impact of events like the Covid-19 pandemic, more ecommerce businesses in the region are seeking expansion opportunities and outsourcing their logistics needs to trusted partners like HelpShip. HelpShip's clients benefit from full access to the EU-wide fulfillment and delivery network of euShipments.com.
