CAMBRIDGE, ONT.—Amazon’s newest fulfilment centre, YHM2, will open in Cambridge, Ont. at the end of September.
At YHM2, Amazon product inventory will be stored, managed and distributed to regional Amazon Robotics fulfilment centres, states a release.
The facility, which measures nearly one-million-square-feet, will play a key role in supporting Amazon fulfilment centres in southwestern Ontario as the company prepares for the holiday season.
The site will launch with more than 250 jobs and has the capacity to scale to more than 1,000 jobs as operations ramp up.
As part of Amazon’s commitment to being part of the local community, the company is also donating $66,000 to the YWCA Cambridge’s Small Steps to Success program which helps empower local women and gender-diverse individuals in the Region of Waterloo to achieve their personal and professional goals.
In addition, Amazon is supporting the construction of 24 stacked townhomes in Cambridge through a donation to Habitat for Humanity. The project will provide working families in need with access to home ownership.
