Sameday said in a press release that the logistics center spans 6,800 sq m and is located on a 10,000 sq m land plot within the Sofimat Logistic Park Ghimbav.
The new facility is equipped with technologies for sorting small and medium-sized parcels, including an automated sorter which can handle up to 7,000 parcels weighing up to 20 kilograms per hour. The center also has a manual belt for atypical parcels, which reaches a capacity of up to 1,200 parcels per hour. The centre was able to process 49,000 parcels on its busiest day, as per the press release. It serves, through direct flights, 22 local Sameday agencies located mainly in the eastern part of the country.
