Sameday, one of the key players in the courier industry, acquired the 24.9% stake held by eMAG in local IT firm Zitec, entering the company's shareholding structure. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval.

"Changes in the logistics and courier sectors require rapid adaptations and technological solutions to address the challenges. The growing demand for fast deliveries, operational optimization in the face of increasing order volumes and returns, as well as the need for traceability and predictability in the logistics chain, are just a few of the challenges faced by players in this sector. Zitec already has proven experience and strong capabilities in the logistics sector, developed through our successful collaboration with Sameday over the past seven years," said Alex Lăpușan, CEO of Zitec.

In his turn, Lucian Băltaru, CEO of Sameday, stated that in an increasingly competitive market, optimizing logistics solutions is crucial. The technology developed in collaboration with Zitec has already improved services for both online retailers and end consumers. By becoming a shareholder, Sameday aims to strengthen this partnership and scale logistics solutions across the region.

Its teams have delivered over half a million personalized product development services alongside 750 end-to-end digital projects for clients such as eMag, Sameday, Decathlon, Leroy Merlin, Flanco, BricoDepot, and Arctic.
