Amazon Plans to Open Its First Logistics Base in Turkey

Amazon, a Washington-based multinational American technology company focused on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence, plans to open a logistics base in Istanbul that will employ 1,000 people in the coming autumn months.

Amazon will establish this project in Tuzla, where it will provide an investment of 100 million dollars. While starting the recruitment processes for center functions such as engineering, human resources, accounting, operations, and information processing (IT) for FBA, it was stated that customer service and logistics teams will be published in the coming months.

Amazon has announced that it will continue to work with partners that already provide delivery services.

Sharing his comments about Amazon's investment in Turkey, Presidential Investment Office Chairman Ahmet Burak Dağlıoğlu said, "As the Presidential Investment Office, we have been following this investment decision since the beginning of the process and have supported it by working closely with the Amazon team both in the field and in bureaucratic processes. We are happy to share. We would like to express our gratitude to the Amazon team, who trusted and invested in our country.

Stefano Perego, Vice President of Operations for Amazon Europe, said, "While we are happy to open our first logistics base in Turkey in Istanbul, we would like to underline our trust in Turkey on this occasion. We are extremely excited about the more than a thousand new job opportunities we will create in our first year by providing a modern and safe working environment with satisfactory wages and benefits. We offer career opportunities with an understanding of diversity and inclusiveness for candidates with varying experience and educational backgrounds in the recruitment processes."
