CTech – One of the first things that strikes you when you enter eGold’s fulfillment center in the port city of Ashdod is how quiet things are. The 20,000 square meter facility that handles thousands of items a day, taking them from the container ship they arrived on and prepping them for delivery to customers’ homes, is eerily silent.
