Austrian Post to acquire a majority stake in euShipments.com, including in Romania

Austrian Post has agreed to acquire a 70% stake in euShipments.com, one of Southeast and Eastern Europe’s leading integrated cross-border delivery and fulfillment platforms.   euShipments Romania, previously known as Helpship, was founded in 2019 by Stefan Popa and Iosif Chesca to provide reliable e-commerce logistics and fulfillment services in Romania. In 2023, the company was acquired by euShipments.com, strengthening the group’s operational footprint and service capabilities in the region.   This acquisition plays a key strategic role by integrating Romania into a broader European delivery and fulfillment network and enhancing support for online merchants.   The deal also marks a successful exit for BlackPeak Capital, which invested in euShipments.com in 2022 and supported its regional expansion and transformation. For BlackPeak, this marks our first exit from our Southeast Europe Growth Equity Fund I (2021).   On 28 November 2025, Austrian Post signed a definitive agreement to acquire a 70 per cent stake in euShipments.com AD (“euShipments.com”), the leading integrated cross-border delivery and fulfilment provider in Southeast and Eastern Europe. The company employs a workforce of over 350 e-commerce experts and has achieved more than 100% annual growth since its founding. It is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately EUR 50 million across four key European markets, including Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Slovakia, together with a wider CEE/SEE reach. Over the past two years, euShipments.com has pursued a targeted M&A strategy, completing four strategic acquisitions in Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Slovakia. These moves have expanded the company’s operational footprint and strengthened its regional logistics capabilities, enabling it to deliver exceptional operational performance and efficiency—driving further demand for its services.   Founded in 2012 by Lora Dimitrova (now Shareholder and IT Product Owner) and Svetlozar Dimitrov (now Shareholder and CEO), euShipments.com supports clients by managing their full logistics lifecycle—from fulfillment and domestic or cross-border deliveries to value-added services such as returns management, cash-on-delivery solutions, IOSS services, and more. Online retailers can access the entire euShipments.com logistics ecosystem through a single commercial contract, integration, and platform interface. Around 1,300 customers rely on the company’s expertise, which includes 7 proprietary e-fulfillment and cross-border facilities across six countries in Southeast and Eastern Europe, as well as partnerships with more than 60 last-mile carriers, offering over 800 delivery methods across Europe.   “In today’s e-commerce environment, our clients consistently demand and expect the very best from their partners and service providers. That is why, guided by their high expectations and evolving needs, we see only one path forward: to improve operationally and technologically every single day,” says Lora Dimitrova, Co-Founder and IT Product Owner of euShipments.com.   “At the heart of euShipments.com’s success is a clear customer-centric strategy. By listening closely to our clients, we have been able to develop new services, delivery methods, and market coverage that reflect their changing needs. Together with Austrian Post, we are now entering a new phase of growth and development. This strategic partnership will strengthen our regional position, expand our service portfolio and network, and boost our efficiency—enabling our clients to sell online and deliver even more competitively and without borders,” adds Svetlozar Dimitrov, Co-Founder and CEO of euShipments.com.   In 2022, BlackPeak Capital, a leading private equity fund focused on growth equity investments in CEE/SEE, invested in euShipments.com to support the founders in the company’s next growth stage. The fund is backed by well-known institutional investors, including the European Investment Fund (EIF), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Throughout its partnership with euShipments.com, BlackPeak Capital worked closely with the founders and management team to help build the leading integrated e-commerce parcel logistics and fulfillment platform in Southeast Europe. The fund supported the company’s transformation by driving inorganic expansion into new markets, strengthening corporate governance and the leadership team, enabling ongoing organic growth across the network, and preparing euShipments.com for its next strategic chapter. “euShipments.com is a prime example of what a strong team can accomplish with the right support and a clear vision. We are proud of—and grateful to—Svet, Lora, and the entire management team for the progress made since 2022. We are confident that this new chapter with Austrian Post will create significant opportunities for further expansion and will reinforce the company’s position as a trusted partner for online merchants across Europe,” says Angel Stefanov, Partner at BlackPeak Capital.   Matej Javorek, Stefan Popa, and Ondrej Holik — the founders of the companies acquired by euShipments.com — will continue to lead euShipments Croatia, euShipments Romania, and euShipments Slovakia, respectively. They will remain key drivers of the development of the euShipments.com brand and services within their local markets and regions.   According to the company’s management, after the completion of the transaction, euShipments.com will continue to operate as a stand-alone entity within Austrian Post. It will build on its existing business model to further strengthen its current partnerships and offer e-commerce clients an even higher level of service quality and a broader geographical coverage.   Austrian Post is one of Europe’s most established logistics groups and the leading postal, parcel, and logistics provider in Austria. With operations across 13 countries and a market reach exceeding 150 million consumers, Austrian Post is a powerful strategic partner for euShipments.com.   “With this acquisition, we are reinforcing our regional footprint in Southeast and Eastern Europe while simultaneously expanding our portfolio of international e-commerce solutions,” says Peter Umundum, Member of the Management Board responsible for the Parcel & Logistics Division.   “The company is an excellent fit for our portfolio and represents an important step forward within our LEAD 2030 growth strategy, which aims to position Austrian Post as a leading e-commerce partner in Austria, Southeast and Eastern Europe, Türkiye, and beyond,” concludes Austrian Post CEO Walter Oblin.
