With the presence of the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, and local authorities, Mercado Libre announced that it will have a new distribution center in Escobedo , which will increase the company’s logistics capacity in the country.
- Omar Ramírez, director of operations, shared through his networks that this project is expected to inject more than 180 million dollars (mdd) , an amount that adds to the 325 million dollars that had been projected in the entity when Meli began operations in the state in 2021.
“More infrastructure, more jobs and more opportunities for entrepreneurs and the people of Nuevo León: Mercado Libre’s commitment will continue to grow,” wrote the executive.
He also explained that his center in Apodaca employs 1,700 people , so they estimate that with the opening of the new cedis, the Yellow Marketplace will employ a total of 3,300 people in Nuevo León.
According to what David Geisen, general director of Mercado Libre Mexico, shared last August, in 2024 alone, Meli’s investment in the country increased 48% compared to last year , with an investment announcement of 2.45 billion dollars this year.
Mercado Libre has a logistics network that includes nine fulfillment centers and 90 logistics facilities , which allow for same-day delivery in 24 cities; as well as 900 electric vans that minimize their impact on the environment.
With this new infrastructure, Omar Ramírez assured that they will continue to guarantee a “ high quality service, reduce geographic gaps, offer simple returns, and increase our offer of millions of products for rapid distribution, benefiting both buyers and sellers .”
“We reaffirm our commitment to growth in the country, because when Mexicans grow, Mercado Libre and Nuevo León grow as well,” Ramírez concluded.
