Bucharest, 12th of June 2024 -CTP, Europe's largest listed developer, owner, and manager of industrial and logistics properties by gross lettable area (GLA), has leased 12,500 sqm of warehouse space at CTPark Oradea Cargo Terminal, Romania's pioneering industrial park featuring an air cargo terminal, to HelpShip, a leading e-fulfillment and logistics solutions provider, part of euShipments.com's group and logistics network.
The expansion reflects HelpShip's rapid growth, more than doubling its operational capacity from 5,300 sqm in less than a year. This strategic move is in response to the increasing demand for fulfillment and logistics services driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce in Romania, the second-largest market in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). HelpShip's expansion aligns with its commitment to providing efficient and reliable logistics solutions to its growing portfolio of e-commerce clients.
Aurel Cîrstea, Business Development Manager, CTP Romania, said:
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 other euShipments.com logistics network's locations: 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.
The rise in online shopping, accelerated by the AI boom, global digitalization, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, has led many e-commerce businesses in the region to explore expansion opportunities and outsource their logistics needs to reliable partners like HelpShip. HelpShip's clients benefit from comprehensive access to the EU-wide fulfillment and delivery network provided by euShipments.com.
