Amazon opens the Christmas business in Zweibrücken at short notice!

Von WOM

After months of speculation, the online giant Amazon has now confirmed the opening of a sorting center in Zweibrücken. However, this will only be temporarily in operation for three months, which raises questions about the reason and the long -term strategy.

The sorting center will be in an existing hall in the Steitzhof industrial area and is scheduled to start in autumn. Why Amazon chose this short period of time remains unclear, but it is believed that the company wants to increase its capacities for the busy Christmas business. During this time, numerous package deliveries burden the infrastructure, which leads to an increased need for sorting and shipping places.

No goods are stored in the new facility, rather it will serve as a throughout station. Packages from various Europe -wide shipping centers will arrive in Zweibrücken and from there will be forwarded to regional distribution centers. Finally, from these centers, the parcels are finally delivered to customers. This should make the entire shipping process more efficient and was certainly a consideration of Amazon to meet the requirements during the peak times.

For the occupation of the sorting center in Zweibrücken, around 200 workers are planned. Amazon did not communicate whether this means new settings or if existing employees are deducted from other locations. The labor market situation could be of interest here, especially in the region, where many are dependent on short -term employment in connection with mail order.

The establishment of the sorting center is an important but temporary commitment of the company in the region. The project will help to optimize the logistics of Amazon in the run -up to the holidays and to support the company during one of the lowest sales times of the year. Further details and developments must be seen, especially with regard to the question of how this decision influences the local economy and the employment situation in the long term.
