Bucharest, March 19, 2026 – Poșta Română is taking another major step in modernizing the regional postal infrastructure by inaugurating three new International Exchange Offices (IEOs) in Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca and Galați , which became operational on March 1, 2026. The new facilities complement the existing network of hubs in Bucharest and Oradea and strengthen the company's ability to process increased volumes of shipments, offering faster processing times and expanded regional connectivity.

Adapting to a changing logistics market

In the context of market evolution and the accelerated diversification of logistics services - from cross-docking operations to last-mile delivery solutions - Poșta Română is adapting its infrastructure and operational model to meet the growing demand for courier and parcel delivery services.

The company is thus strengthening its transition from traditional postal activities to integrated logistics solutions for parcels, capable of supporting fast deliveries and efficient management of the growing volumes generated by e-commerce.

Modern hubs for operational efficiency

The new International Exchange Offices were designed to optimize logistical flows and operational performance, through:

  • Efficiency in high-density areas – organizing shipment flows in areas aligned with the geographical configuration and density of economic agents.
  • High processing capacity – each hub is equipped with automatic sorting lines that can process up to 7,000 parcels per hour , optimizing sorting, loading and unloading flows.
  • Transit optimization – direct connection to the transport network allows compliance with mandatory quality parameters regarding transit times and reduction of distances traveled by postal road routes.
  • High operational performance – the infrastructure is designed to support a distribution objective as close to 100% as possible , through the efficient use of human resources.

Strategic positioning for regional connectivity

Each of the new hubs is strategically located to support regional and international logistics flows:

  • BSI Timisoara – located near the western border, facilitates road transit to Hungary, Serbia and the Balkan countries .
  • BSI Cluj-Napoca – located in central Romania, has modern sorting lines with a capacity of up to 7,000 parcels per hour, supporting the growing demand for fast deliveries.
  • BSI Galați – positioned in the east of the country, optimized for logistics flows to the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine .

At the same time, BSI Timișoara and BSI Cluj-Napoca benefit from quick access to international airports, facilitating the integration of air transport. These hubs can operate in connection with traditional carriers such as TAROM, Lufthansa, LOT and HiSky , as well as low-cost operators such as Wizz Air and Ryanair .

Invitation for partners

The Romanian Post invites designated operators to optimize their logistics chains by directing traffic - including parcels, postal items and EMS (Express Mail Service - international express courier) - to these new access points.

Using the new hubs offers partners:

  • reduced transit times,
  • diverse routing options,
  • direct access to the Romanian market and neighboring countries outside the EU.

By expanding this logistics infrastructure, Poșta Română reaffirms its commitment to modernize the regional postal network and to manage increasing volumes of shipments through a high-performance and extensive infrastructure.
