Nova Post in Czech Republic plans to invest over CZK 6 mln in development of new services in 2026

Nova Post in the Czech Republic plans to invest more than CZK 6 million (over $288,000 at the current exchange rate) this year in scaling its own logistics system, which will include 7-day-a-week delivery, next-day service, hourly parcel pickup, and the delivery and pickup of oversized parcels, the company said on Thursday.

"We're seeing rapid growth in demand for international logistics and a high level of trust, as evidenced by the year-over-year increase in shipment volumes. That's why we've partnered with UPS Czech Republic and are now delivering to 187 additional countries and regions worldwide," Nova Post Czech Republic CEO Andriy Artemenko was quoted as saying in the release.

He noted that the company also plans to open 30 new branches and launch another 2,500 service points by the end of 2026.

The company added that Nova Post in the Czech Republic now handles customs clearance of goods independently. Furthermore, the company has added another network of 570 parcel terminals – OX Box – bringing the total number of parcel terminals to over 3,500: ALZA Box, GLS, and OX Box.

As reported, last year the NOVA Group handled 522 million parcels, 29 million of which were in Europe. The group, currently ranked 30th globally by parcel volume among express and postal delivery companies, aims to enter the top 20 by 2030 and increase the number of parcels to 2 billion.
