Employees at the newly opened fulfillment centers in Wrocław and Poznań have more than doubled the previous record for shipments sent within the network of 28 European Amazon fulfillment centers.
Polish fulfillment centers are located in Bielany Wrocławskie near Wrocław and in Sady near Poznań. Each of them covers an area of approximately 95,000 sqm, equal to the area of 13 football pitches. The operation of these centers enables fast and reliable service for European customers, which they are accustomed to, especially during the busy pre-Christmas period. Within the first month of operation of the new fulfillment centers in Poznań and Wrocław, more shipments were sent from them than from any previously opened European center of the company. Compared to the previous record holder, each of the Polish centers processed more than twice as many orders during this period.
– We would like to thank and congratulate our colleagues in Poland. Opening a new fulfillment center is very hard work for everyone involved in such an undertaking. Thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of our employees in Wrocław and Poznań, we can count this project as a record-breaking one from the very beginning – said Roy Perticucci, Vice President and Head of European Operations at Amazon. – We would like to thank all our colleagues and managers, as well as local authorities in Poland. Our company is growing very dynamically in Europe, and we have the holiday season ahead of us, during which the number of purchases and shipments increases even more. Given the excellent start, we look to the future of our fulfillment centers in Poland with great optimism and are convinced that they will soon be able to seamlessly serve our customers across Europe. We need dedicated and flexible partners who will support our growth and understand our innovative approach. We have certainly found them in Poland.
– Both the size and the technological advancement of the Wrocław fulfillment center made a huge impression on me. However, what I like most is the willingness to cooperate and the support from all team members – said Piotr Siarkiewicz, an employee of the Fulfillment Center in Wrocław and a student at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
Amazon has created thousands of jobs in Poland. The company ensures that its employees will have the best possible conditions and will be able to take advantage of a wide range of training offers.
– We believe that, among other things, thanks to Polish employees – their commitment, high work ethic, and flexibility – Amazon will continue to develop dynamically in our country for the benefit of the regions – said Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Economy, Ilona Antoniszyn-Klik.
