eMAG to open new logistics centre following 90 million Euro investment
eMAG is investing 90 million Euro in a new logistics centre, which will cover an area of 130,000 square meters. The construction works will start this month and will be completed in September next year, and all automations and technologies will be operational by July 2022.
According to the company, the investment in technology for logistics infrastructure will contribute massively to increasing productivity, which will lead to better prices for customers. If until now employees went to take products from the shelf, with the help of new technology – a revolutionary picking system that will generate 4 times higher productivity – the goods will automatically reach the employee.
“This investment is a major step in the development of the next decade in which we anticipate a massive migration of people to online commerce and an acceleration of business digitalization. The value produced with the help of technology will be distributed to all those who contribute to the evolution of eMAG. Thus, we generate benefits for customers, for digital entrepreneurs in the eMAG Marketplace, for the community and for employees,” said Tudor Manea, general manager of eMAG.
