The service reaches about six million Swedes, delivering from the likes of H&M, Ikea, and Lloyds. In a press release, the company claims its growth has more than tripled each year over the last few years. The latest financing round consists of a new equity issuance of €5 million, the purchase of existing shares worth €9 million and a credit facility of €23 million. As for what’s next, co-founder and CEO Alexis Priftis explained: “With the new funds, we aim to radically increase the number of parcel lockers in Sweden from 400 to between 2000-3000.
