Amazon to Open Third Fulfillment Center in California

January 25, 2013
Amazon

"I am honored and pleased that Amazon recognizes our streamlined business development efforts, prime location and resources available to meet the demands of their fulfillment center," said city of Tracy Mayor Brent H. Ives. "Amazon is a wonderful addition to our economic base and will provide hundreds of jobs for residents of Tracy."

Amazon opened its first fulfillment center in California, located in San Bernardino, in October 2012. During the San Bernardino site opening, Amazon donated $25,000 to local nonprofits and announced it had brought 700 jobs to the community. The company is also building a site in Patterson that is expected to open in summer of 2013.

"This latest development in Tracy not only represents good jobs coming to the region but California's strong partnership with Amazon," said Kish Rajan, director of the governor's Office of Business and Economic Development. "This third new distribution center marks a commitment by Amazon of over 1,000 California jobs in the last year alone. We look forward to continuing our relationship with this world leading brand and hope to build more opportunities for Californians in the future."

"We are grateful to be members of the California business community and to employ so many hardworking and skilled Californians," said Mike Roth, vice president of Amazon's North American operations. "We are excited to be growing in the state and to be creating hundreds of full-time positions in Tracy."

Prologis, a leading owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, is building the site.
