Amazon launching first Australian fulfilment centre in Melbourne

Amazon is set to open its first Australian fulfilment centre in Dandenong South, a suburb of Melbourne. According to reports, the new 24,000 square metre facility is located in the Pellicano’s M2 Industry Park in Dandenong South.

“We are thrilled to be creating hundreds of new roles in Dandenong South,” said Robert Bruce, Amazon’s Director of Operations for Australia, has been quoted as saying.

“This is just the start. Over time, we will bring thousands of new jobs to Australia and millions of dollars of investment as well as opening up the opportunity for thousands of Australian businesses to sell at home and abroad through Amazon Marketplace.

“This new fulfilment centre will stock hundreds of thousands of products which will be available for delivery to customers across Australia when we launch our retail offering,” said Robert Bruce. “We will be focusing on offering our Australian customers low prices on a great selection of products and can’t wait to get started.”
