Amazon Chooses Tianjin For New Chinese Logistics Base

Amazon.cn has announced the formal launch of its new operating center in Tianjin, which is the B2C e-commerce retailer’s eleventh operations center in China.

Amazon.cn said that during 2012, the company will focus more on the warehousing and logistics sector, and the total area of its operating centers in China is expected to increase.

The first phase project of Amazon.cn’s Tianjin operating center reportedly covers an area of over 90,000 square meters. With the launch of the new center, the company’s warehousing operations area in North China grows to 170,000 square meters.
