Amazon.com Inc said on Thursday it has invested US$100 million in opening new warehouses in Mexico, including its first shipping centers outside the populous capital area, in a bid to offer faster deliveries.
The new sites include two so-called fulfillment centers - one near the northern city of Monterrey and another near the central city of Guadalajara - as well as a support building in the State of Mexico, just outside Mexico City.Amazon also opened 12 delivery stations, bringing its total to 27 across the country, it said.
Monterrey and Guadalajara are the two biggest metropolitan zones of the country after the sprawling Mexico City area. Enrique Alfaro, the governor of Jalisco state that is home to Guadalajara, said the new local warehouse would help more small and medium sized businesses ship their products faster and at lower costs.
