Amazon has announced that it plans to open its tenth California fulfilment centre in Sacramento. The new facility, the fourth California fulfilment centre that Amazon has announced in the past four months, will create over 1,000 full-time roles.

In addition to the recently announced fulfilment centres in north Sacramento, Tracy and Eastvale, Amazon currently fulfills customer orders at its facilities in Moreno Valley, Patterson, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino and Tracy.
