Amazon’s first robotics centre in the Czech Republic has officially started its operations.
According to Amazon, the facility spans four stories, with a total area just shy of 190,000 square metres, and is outfitted with “cutting-edge robotic technology”.
Situated in the Olomouc Region, near the town of Kojetín, it stands as one of the Czech Republic’s most state-of-the-art logistics hubs.
Situated in the Olomouc Region, near the town of Kojetín, the centre officially commenced operations in June of this year, marking “a significant milestone” in the words of Amazon.
Amazon says the site “heralds the introduction of the latest technologies aimed at simplifying daily tasks for Amazon employees, while prioritising the safety of operations and offering high-quality working conditions”.
Commenting, Michal Šmíd, General Manager of the new facility, said:
“Amazon’s investment in Kojetin is another demonstration of our commitment to the Czech Republic, creating up to 2,000 good new permanent roles when fully operational. Amazon provides some of the most advanced workplaces of their kind in the world, with competitive pay, processes, and systems to ensure the wellbeing and safety of all employees, and I am delighted to launch this new building.”
