PUDO Inc. Opens the Market at the CSE Media Centre

Video

The CSE proudly welcomed PUDO Inc. (CSE:PDO) for a Market Open at the CSE Media Centre on December 10th, 2019. 

Headquartered in Canada, PUDO Inc. operates as a courier and integrated express package distribution company. It is currently North America’s only carrier-neutral parcel pick-up and drop-off technology and logistics network, offering pick-up and delivery of letters, small packages, and documents. PUDO members, participating e-commerce retail customers, and any business sector with a home-based workforce can pick up their parcels from easily accessible locations with extended hours, such as convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores, at any time, including evenings and weekends.

“To open the market today is an absolute privilege. Being with this group of senior management here that I well know, and the CSE has been a privilege to know, and I’m really proud to be here for four years. And hopefully it’ll continue for another 40 years,” said CEO Frank Coccia.

“It’s not easy to do what we’ve done, and open up a national network as we have, and we brought in professionals to help us go to market with this program. We were a little bit ahead of our time when we launched in 2015, as ecommerce is now becoming a much more mature market. The team is just growing day in, day out. And I think the biggest satisfaction we get as a team with our network is the smiles that we put on the owners of our convenience stores, which are typically ma & pa shops that are working 18 hours a day, and they’re family-run businesses, and we’re bringing foot traffic back into their stores. And it absolutely brings us so much joy.”

Joining Coccia at the Market Open was John Clarke, VP of Sales and Marketing at PUDO.
