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.

Sameday operates in Hungary and Bulgaria and controls the most extensive regional network of over 7,200 easybox lockers. Cargus is the first private package delivery company that opened in Romania during 1991.
