Business Forum
Wolt has completed the acquisition of Tazz, a leading local commerce platform in Romania, from eMAG. The acquisition marks Wolt's entry into the Romanian market, aiming to further strengthen the local commerce experience for consumers, merchants, and couriers in the region.

“Romania is a large and vibrant market, and Tazz has built an impressive platform with strong customer relationships and deep local insights,” said Miki Kuusi, CEO of Wolt and Head of DoorDash International. “We're thrilled to join forces with Tazz, leveraging our mutual strengths to build even better experiences for customers, merchants, and couriers in Romania. We look forward to this journey together and to introducing the Wolt brand to Romania later this year.”

Tazz's current offerings, including restaurant, grocery, and retail selections, will continue as usual, as will Tazz's participation in the eMAG Genius subscription program. As previously communicated, Wolt and eMAG have struck a long-term partnership that allows Tazz customers to continue to enjoy the premium benefits of Genius.

“We're excited to be partnering with Wolt and taking Tazz to the next level,” said Alin Serban, CEO of Tazz. “With Wolt's focus on world-class technology, customer experience and local service excellence, this partnership opens doors for us to innovate and expand our offerings. At Tazz, we're proud of what we've accomplished as a team and excited about the opportunities ahead as part of Wolt.” Now that the acquisition has been completed, Alin Serban will continue to lead the operations in Romania for Wolt.

Tazz operates in over 35 cities and has become one of the most important platforms, offering a strong selection of restaurants, supermarket partners, retailers, and local merchants.
