Ozon builds logistics hub in Samara region for 4 billion rubles

2021: Start of logistics hub construction

In the Chapaevsk industrial park, PNK group is building a logistics hub for the Ozon marketplace with all the necessary infrastructure. This became known on August 6, 2021.

The governor Samara oblastidmitry Azarov met investors on a building site.

The beginning of the construction of such a logistics center was preceded by a large systemic work of the Government of the region, led by the Governor. Ozon management considered the territories of several regions to host an online order factory. But during the joint work, the search for solutions managed to achieve a result in favor of the Samara region. As a result, in early June 2021, an agreement was signed on cooperation and the placement of a large logistics center with a total area of ​ ​ 135 thousand square meters.

PNK group is actively building a logistics center. And from the outside, it probably seems easy and simple, like buying on Ozon. In fact, this was preceded by huge, systematic work, including from our partners. The company very meticulously, verified the region of its presence. And I am very glad that, having created the conditions for the implementation of the project, we are building a logistics center that will play a huge role in the economy not only of the city of Chapaevsk, but of the entire region, "Dmitry Azarov emphasized.

Ozon's investments in the project will amount to more than 4 billion rubles. This fullfilment center, after its launch at full capacity, will create 6 thousand jobs. The creation of a logistics hub, on the one hand, will accelerate the delivery of the Ozon assortment to residents of the region. But it is even more important that the facility will allow sellers of the Samara region to sell their goods throughout Russia and even beyond.

With the advent of the Ozon logistics center, the availability of Samara goods for buyers of Russia and the whole world increases significantly. Of course, the opportunity to get to the electronic site, one of the largest in the country, among Samara manufacturers is increasing. I want to thank our partners for the fact that together we made a decision, formalized it and began to implement it as soon as possible, the Governor emphasized.

Ozon production director Alexander Geil noted that electronic commerce is one of the drivers of the economy of the Russian regions.

{{quote 'It not only creates jobs, but also stimulates private entrepreneurship - by being able to sell around the world even from a small city. The presence of a large logistics facility in the region allows local sellers to save on supplies, expand the range and, as a result, increase the profitability of the business. And with the opening of the Ozon fullfilm center, residents of the region will receive even better service - about 3 million goods we will be able to deliver to them the very next day after the order, - Alexander Geil stressed and added that in the Samara region in the first quarter of 2021, in annual comparison, sales on the site increased in 2,3 times, and the number of local sellers on the marketplace - 7 times.

I am sure that our logistics hub will make it possible to increase these numbers many times, and this will give the region great potential for the growth of Internet trade. Samara region is one of the most promising Russian regions for us. I thank the leadership of the region for the help they provided us. Special thanks to our partners - PNK group.}}

According to plans, the Ozon logistics center will begin to operate in 2022.

The appearance of such a large employer in Chapaevsk will provide for years to come a reliable salary, income for the families of residents of the Samara region, an increase in the level of well-being and well-being, "summed up Dmitry Azarov.
