SEATTLE, Washington—Amazon.com, Inc plans to open a seventh California fulfillment centre in San Bernardino, where the company launched its first Golden State fulfillment centre in 2012. Amazon currently employs more than 12,000 full-time hourly associates at its six existing California locations and plans to create over 1,000 more full-time positions in the new San Bernardino facility. Outside of San Bernardino, Amazon’s other California DCs are located in Tracy, Patterson, Moreno Valley, Redlands and Rialto.
“San Bernardino has proven to be an important part of Amazon’s growth in California, and we are proud to continue creating jobs and helping support the economy here in the Inland Empire,” said Akash Chauhan, Amazon’s vice president of North American operations.
Amazon employees at the 1.1 million-square-foot San Bernardino fulfillment centre will pick, pack, and ship smaller customer items, such as books, electronics and toys.
“We are excited Amazon continues to view San Bernardino as a great place to do business and we’re proud to be part of Amazon’s history and future,” said Mayor R. Carey Davis of San Bernardino. “The company continues hosting a robust public tours program, donating needed items and volunteer hours to local charities, and supporting local businesses on a regular basis.”
