Mercado Libre Activates Two Last‑Mile Hubs in Córdoba to Speed Deliveries

The rollout strengthens next‑day service in Córdoba, reflecting a nationwide buildout to 39 last‑mile sites.

Overview

  • The new facilities in Río Cuarto and Villa María are already operating and enable 24‑hour deliveries for nearby cities and surrounding areas.
  • Each center handles about 8,000 packages per day, doubling the company’s last‑mile footprint in the province from two to four locations.
  • The hubs were built and are operated by third‑party providers under long‑term agreements reported as 10‑year contracts.
  • Reported job creation varies, with a provincial release citing 850 direct and indirect positions and company figures indicating roughly 440.
  • Country manager Adrián Ecker met Governor Martín Llaryora to discuss incentives and future opportunities, as the firm’s Córdoba offices remain closed since July with about 1,260–1,300 employees working remotely.
