Amazon to open logistics centre in Sereď

The American company Amazon plans to open its first reverse logistics centre in the Mountpark industrial zone in Sereď (Trnava region) and create more than 1,000 jobs over the next three years, according to TASR press agency, citing Amazon representatives. The centre is set to be opened in the third quarter of this year and will focus on European customers. Its employees will assess products that have failed to be delivered or were returned to Amazon. The representatives of the company further stated that the successful operation of Amazon's office in Bratislava strongly contributed towards the decision to set up the new logistic centre in Sereď. The Bratislava office currently employs more than 850 workers, including financial managers, analysts, customer service managers, as well as managers for human resources and sales support. Amazon is planning to employ in its Sereď-based office a full range of professionals, from operational managers and technology experts to human resources managers, financial managers and IT specialists. The recruitment process is set to begin as early as mid-summer.
