CDEK ({{langx|ru|СДЭК}}, from {{Lang|ru|Служба доставки экспресс-курьер}}, {{Literal translation|Express Courier Delivery Service}}) is an express delivery company based in Novosibirsk, Russia.[https://www.forbes.ru/profile/346629-sdek CDEK. Forbes.]
History
CDEK was founded in 2000 in Novosibirsk by graduates of the Novosibirsk State University Leonid Goldort and Vyacheslav Piksayev in 2000 to transport goods from the Korzina.ru online store to the cities of Siberia and the Russian Far East.[https://nsk.rbc.ru/nsk/08/07/2019/5d22ea7a9a7947590197e6a8 Forbes назвал в числе самых выгодных франшиз три компании из Новосибирска. РБК.] A year later, the company began operating in Moscow, and two years later, in Saint Petersburg.
In 2020, the company invested more than 600 million rubles to create its own parcel locker network.[https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4626316 СДЭК инвестирует до 4 млрд рублей в рынок постаматов. Коммерсантъ.] In April 2020, a restriction on concluding contracts with individuals was introduced. The second stage was to inform FL customers of the automatic termination of contracts by 31.03.2020. Thus, CDEK completely switched to contractual work with legal entities{{Cite web|language=ru|url=https://cdek.me/urdogovor|title=Договор со СДЭК для юридических лиц.|website=cdek.me|access-date=2023-03-06|archive-date=2023-03-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306213124/https://cdek.me/urdogovor|url-status=live}} and self-employed citizens.{{Cite web|url=https://cdek-b2b.com/dogovor|title=Договор со СДЭК для юридических лиц, самозанятых и интернет-магазинов|language=ru|website=cdek-b2b.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231008014148/https://cdek-b2b.com/dogovor/|archive-date=2023-10-08|access-date=2023-10-08|url-status=live}}

In November 2023, it became known that the founder and majority shareholder Leonid Goldort was going to sell his stake in the business before moving to Israel. The company was valued in the range of 20 to 35 billion rubles.{{Cite web|url=https://www.rbc.ru/politics/29/11/2023/6566a5039a7947ba80b7126b|title="Ведомости" узнали, что глава СДЭК уехал в Израиль и продает свою долю|language=ru|website=РБК|date=2023-11-29|access-date=2024-04-09}} In April 2024, it was reported that a buyer had been found — 55.44% of the company owned by Goldort should transfer to one of the funds managed by the Modern Real Estate Funds Management Company. The terms and amount of the transaction were not disclosed.{{cite web|author=|url=https://www.vedomosti.ru/business/news/2024/04/26/1034341-osnovatel-sdek-nashel|title=Основатель СДЭК нашел покупателя на свою долю в компании|language=ru|website=Vedomosti.ru|publisher=|date=2024-04-26|access-date=2024-04-26}}
On May 26, 2024, the company suspended the acceptance and delivery of shipments. The international hacker group Head Mare assumed responsibility for the shutdown of the CDEK parcel delivery service.{{Cite web|url=https://www.vedomosti.ru/business/articles/2024/05/28/1039828-prichinoi-sboya-v-rabote-sdek-mog-stat-virus-shifrovalschik/|title=Причиной сбоя в работе СДЭК мог стать вирус-шифровальщик|language=ru|website=Ведомости|date=2024-05-27|access-date=2024-05-28}} The hackers claimed to have used a cryptographic virus. It was only on May 29 that the company was able to resume the delivery of parcels already at the pick-up points. On June 1, CDEK announced that it had resumed receiving shipments by couriers, and everything was in order with the orders placed earlier before the failure.{{Cite web|url=https://www.vedomosti.ru/business/news/2024/05/29/1040368-sdek-vozobnovil/|title=СДЭК возобновил выдачу заказов|language=ru|website=Ведомости|date=2024-05-29|access-date=2024-05-29}}
