En total, el centro empleará a 400 personas y será operado por el grupo logístico Posadas, que es el dueño del predio de 58.000 m2, ubicado dentro del parque industrial de Tres de Febrero
Por la baja de impuestos, Mercado Libre elige invertir en Tres de Febrero.

Overview

  • The 58,000 m² center will process up to 100,000 items daily and store 570,000 bulky products such as appliances, furniture and auto parts.
  • Grupo Posadas is building the facility under a $65 million investment announced on July 14 as part of Mercado Libre’s $2.6 billion logistics expansion in Argentina.
  • Operations are slated to start in October, helping the company target 50% of deliveries within 24 hours by the end of the year.
  • This marks Mercado Libre’s third distribution hub in Argentina, joining existing sites in La Matanza and the Mercado Central.
  • The move follows the July 7 closure of its Córdoba office over high municipal taxes, which led to a fully remote workforce in that city.
