Amazon opens two of its Polish logistics centers

US e-commerce giant Amazon has officially opened two of its planned three fulfillment centers in Poland, the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency said in an announcement on Wednesday. The center in Bielany Wrocławskie near Wrocław was launched on October 28 and another one in Sady near Poznań was opened on the next day. Each of the Amazon fulfillment centers will have 2,000 long-term jobs and 3,000 seasonal jobs. The company officially announced plans to create a logistics hub in Poland in early October 2013. Amazon’s operations director Tim Collins said at the time that a location in the center of Europe, the proximity of key markets and a good workforce base were behind the decision.
