Romanian package delivery company Sameday, controlled by e-commerce giant eMAG, has announced the purchase of Cargus, the delivery firm owned by private equity investor MidEuropa Partners, for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition is currently pending approval by relevant merger control and foreign investment authorities.

With the new deal, Sameday aims to bolster its operational capacity and refine its logistics infrastructure.
