A new Amazon logistics centre will open in Murcia City this autumn with 1,200 jobs set to be created over three years.
The 160,000 square metre facility will use state-of-the-art technology to speed up the distribution of orders across the whole of south-east Spain.
On a site visit, Amazon’s Spanish director, Fred Pattje, said: “We should be operational by October and we will have the capacity to send out 550.000 parcels per day.”
The new centre has been built just off the A-30 highway in the Southeast business park at Valladolises in Murcia City.
It’s also just six kilometres drive from the regional international airport at Corvera.
