Online book retailer Libris.ro will invest EUR 3 million in building and equipping a new book deposit. This will allow the company to increase its delivery capacity. The new book warehouse will cover 5,000 sqm and will become operational in 9-12 months. It will host over 3 million books, as well as other products such as writing instruments, music, games, toys or teas. The retailer currently has a maximum delivery capacity of 3,500 orders per day. The new warehouse will allow Libris.ro to deliver 10,000-12,000 orders per day, the company’s founder Laura Teposu said. The retailer recorded a turnover of RON 22 million (EUR 4.7 million) in the first nine months of this year, up 20% over the same period last year. editor@romania-insider.com
