Amazon to open three New Jersey FCs
Amazon has announced plans to open three additional fulfilment centres in New Jersey. The new sites are in Cranbury Township, Edison and Logan Township.
Amazon launched operations in New Jersey in 2012 and it now has seven existing facilities in Avenel, Carteret, Florence, Logan Township and Robbinsville.
“Our ability to expand in New Jersey is the result of two things: incredible customers and an outstanding workforce,” said Akash Chauhan, Amazon’s vice president of North American Operations. “We are excited to continue growing by creating an additional 2,500 full-time roles at new fulfillment centers across the state.”
Amazon employees at the more than 900,000-square-foot fulfilment centre in Cranbury Township and the 1-million-square-foot fulfilment centre in Logan Township will pick, pack and ship larger customer items such as music equipment, sports gear, and patio furniture. The 900,000-square-foot fulfilment centre in Edison will handle smaller customer items such as books, toys and kitchenware.
