Mercado Libre Commits $65M to Third Logistics Hub in Tres de Febrero

Tres de Febrero’s RIGI tax scheme underpins the project with guaranteed fiscal stability, promising 400 jobs at its October opening.

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.
