Amazon announces second Houston-area fulfilment centre
Amazon has announced plans to open a new fulfilment centre in Katy, which will be its second FC in the Houston area and its tenth in the state of Texas. Since Amazon launched operations in Texas in 2013, the company has grown its fulfilment workforce in the state to 10,000-plus full-time employees across seven existing facilities in Coppell, Haslet, Dallas, Fort Worth, Schertz and San Marcos. Previously announced facilities in Houston and Coppell are currently under construction.
Earlier this week, Amazon also announced a new fulfilment centre in Virginia.
