Last year, some 3.2 million packages were delivered via Foxpost parcel lockers, and this year the aim is to double that number, Bengyel said.
He noted that there are 1,500-1,600 parcel lockers in Hungary at present, and that number could approach 2,300 by the end of the year, citing data compiled by e-commerce research company GKID.
He said Foxpost has plans to expand abroad and will soon launch a solution that allows packages to be sent to markets in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Romania.
Foxpost had net revenue of HUF 2.4 billion last year, public records show.
