Amazon inaugurated a logistics centre in Egypt, Tuesday, as the global online shopping platform launched its Egyptian website (Amazon.eg).
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Egyptian Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, Telecommunications Minister, Amr Talaat, and Minister of Trade and Industry, Nevine Gamea.
“The 28,000 square-metre centre, located in 10th of Ramadan city East of Cairo, will provide a faster shopping and delivery to meet the demands of online shopping customers in Egypt”, according to Ronaldo Mashhour, Vice President of Amazon for the Middle East and North Africa.
Amazon has been operating in Egypt since 2017 through Souq.com, an Amazon affiliated company. It offers online shopping services and operates a widespread local logistics and operations network across the country with 15 delivery stations across the country.
Amazon Egypt had established corporate and customer services offices and a total local workforce of over 3,000 employees across corporate, customer service, and operations departments in Egypt. The company has so far invested over £E1 Billion in the Egyptian market.
Souq.com was rebranded as Amazon.sa and Amazon.ae in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, since Amazon acquired Souq.com in both markets.
