On 6 February in Bielany Wrocławskie, construction of Amazon’s first of three fulfilment centres in Poland was officially started.
Two of the three Amazon’s fulfilment centres in Poland are planned to be opened in the second part of the year. The third one, near Poznań, will be launched in 2015 during the 20th anniversary of Amazon’s presence in the market.
In its three fulfilment centres, the company will create 6,000 long term jobs. Additional 9,000 seasonal jobs is planned in holiday season. Poland’s central location in Europe, a close connection to key markets as well as the access to a great employment base, were key reasons behind Amazon’s decision to open the business there.
The Polish fulfilment centres will be integrated into Amazon’s European fulfilment network. They will serve customers from all of Amazon’s European market.
The decision to operate in Poland was officially announced by Amazon in October 2014.
