Amazon continues to expand its delivery system<\/a> with new facilities across the U.S. The e-commerce giant just announced five projects involving openings and plans for fulfillment and sortation centers totaling more than 3.3 million square feet in Minnesota and Alabama.<\/p>\n

“Last quarter, we discussed the physical capacity we were adding to meet customer demand. We made strong progress in the third quarter to build and open new facilities, and as a result, for the first time since the pandemic began, we are no longer capacity-constrained for physical space in the network,” Brian Olsavsky, CFO of Amazon.com Inc., said during the company’s third quarter earnings conference call on Oct. 28.<\/p>\n

Just outside of Minneapolis in Maple Grove, Minn., Amazon opened a new sortation center at 10440 89th Ave. Amazon leased the 297,000-square-foot building from Scannell Properties. The company has had a presence in Minnesota since 2010.<\/p>\n

In Alabama, Amazon is a relatively new business, having made its entr\u00e9e into the state with the start of its first operations in 2020. However, the global e-commerce leader is quickly making up for lost time, having just announced plans for three new operations facilities and the recent opening of a fulfillment center.<\/p>\n

In Birmingham, Amazon will open a new delivery station in November. The bigger developments will come in 2022, when the company will debut a 1 million-square-foot, XL non-sortable fulfillment center in Huntsville, and a 650,000-square-foot, inbound cross-dock receive center in Montgomery. And the company has already celebrated the opening of a non-sortable fulfillment center in Huntsville. The facility utilizes innovative technologies and spans 1 million square feet.<\/p>\n

Pandemic-era growth spurt<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While many businesses faced immense challenges amid the COVID-19 health crisis, others flourished, and Amazon and other e-commerce businesses were among them. And by association, the logistics industry has thrived as well. Amazon is benefitting at both ends.<\/p>\n

“For the year, we expect our 2021 footprint additions to exceed last year’s build-out, which was also significant. To put this in perspective, we are on track to double our fulfillment network over the two-year period since the pandemic’s early days,” Olsavsky added during the earnings call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
