CDEK (Russian Служба доставки Экспресс-курьер, German Express Courier Delivery Service) is a Russian company for express delivery of documents and loads. It was founded in Novosibirsk in 2000 as a shipping aid for the Korzina.ru online shop in the Siberian Federal District . Soon the online shop was closed and the logistics project developed into a Russian and later globally active company. The company's headquarters are in Novosibirsk.
history
The company was founded on February 25, 2000 as a courier service for the delivery of Internet orders from the online store Korzina.ru in Siberia and the Far East. The name comes from the first letters of the Russian words " Служба доставки Экспресс-Курьер " (express courier delivery service). After some time, the investors lost interest in the online shop and turned to the development of logistics services.
At first the company was interested in express shipping within Russia. Therefore, logistic schemes were developed that made it possible to deliver packages in the Siberian Federal District within a day. As soon as shipping in the eastern part of the country went smoothly, it was decided in 2001 to expand the shipping area. The first regional office was opened in Moscow, which made it possible to significantly increase the number of shipping routes. In 2002 branches were opened in Saint Petersburg and Barnaul .
In 2003 the company's website was activated and the office in Tomsk was opened. In 2004 not only offices in Vladivostok , Omsk and Krasnoyarsk were added, but international activities in the import and export of documents and loads also began. In view of the spread of foreign online shops in Russia, the partial merger with the Russian Post took place in order to ensure the fast shipping of small packages and shipments from abroad. In 2005 offices were opened in Nizhny Novgorod , Samara , Yekaterinburg , Khabarovsk . According to its own information, the company served over a thousand cities in Russia at that time and had around two hundred employees. The range of services has been expanded.

In 2008 the list of offered services and tariffs was expanded again. In 2009 the company opened offices in Kemerovo , Tula , Kaluga and Bryansk . The company began to develop according to the franchise model. In 2010, 16 franchisees started operating in Russia. The company began looking for points of growth in the e-commerce market.
In 2011, a service and tariff package was developed for companies that are active in the e-commerce market. New offices were opened in 23 cities in Russia. In 2012 the company entered the Kazakh market by opening its own agency in Alma-Ata . New offices were opened in 31 cities in Russia.
