Omniva installs its 1,000th parcel locker

Omniva has opened its 1,000th parcel machine in the Baltics in Vilnius, Lithuania, as part of expanding and renewing its network, with a total of around 270 parcel machines to be replaced and installed in the coming months.

The first Omniva parcel machine was installed in Estonia in 2010. Mart Mägi, Chairman of the Management Board of Omniva, noted that reaching the 1,000th parcel machine is an important milestone in the development of the Baltic network.

“Since the installation of the first parcel machine, these 12 years of operation have been characterised by both challenges and intensive development in all the Baltic States. It is quite symbolic that our first parcel machine was installed in Estonia, the 500th in Latvia, and the 1,000th in Lithuania. It also shows that we are growing and expanding in all three markets at the same time,” Mägi said.

“Expanding the parcel locker network will remain one of our top priorities. The focus in strategically building the network is to ensure that each new parcel machine is installed in a location that is even more convenient and accessible for our customers.”

According to Mägi, the 1,000th parcel machine also symbolically marks a more sustainable delivery of parcels. “On the one hand, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal to strive for - we want to make the process of receiving and sending parcels as easy as possible for consumers. On the other hand, we are increasingly focusing on sustainability. Investments in parcel machines also contribute to saving the environment, as an efficient network of parcel machines enables the delivery of the same number of parcels with a fraction of the CO2 emissions compared to home delivery,” he explained.

This year, the company invested €7.5 million in expanding its network in the Baltics.
