At this year’s Logistics Annual Conference in Estonia, Logistics Achievement of 2024 award was presented to Omniva for opening the largest and most modern logistics center in the Baltics, located in Kaunas. 

“Our Kaunas logistics center is important for all the Baltic countries, not just Lithuania. It serves as a strategic gateway for Omniva in the Baltics, enabling not only current but also new global market players to quickly access all three countries, while also helping local businesses operate more efficiently at a Baltic-wide level. This project represents a significant milestone in Omniva’s growth and underscores our commitment to serving our customers better than ever,” said Omniva CEO Mart Mägi upon accepting the award. 

According to Mägi, e-commerce in the Baltics is expected to grow by €1.2 billion by 2027, with half of that growth coming from Lithuania. Estonia and Latvia will account for the other half. “Having a local logistics center in Lithuania is strategically important for Estonia,” Mägi added. 

Omniva invested €42 million in the Kaunas logistics center, which spans a total land area of 90,000 m². The building covers 22,000 m², with the sorting center itself occupying 20,000 m² and capable of processing 12,000 parcels per hour. Read more about the logistics center here. 

“This recognition wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our amazing employees, the trust and collaboration of our partners, and the continued support from the community. A special thanks to Äripäev for recognizing our efforts and sharing our journey,” Mägi emphasized. 

The award is organized by Äripäev and Logistikauudised for 23rd consecutive time and more information about this year’s nominees is available here (in Estonian).
