Amazon closes distributor center in Zweibrücken - what happens now?
Amazon will stop operating in his distribution center near Zweibrücken on January 8, 2025. Most recently, around 200 people worked there. The company has an expansion strategy in Germany and continuously expands its network of logistics and distribution centers.
The temporary use of the warehouse near Zweibrücken Airport began at the end of 2024 to relieve the logistics centers in the southwest. This hall, which was completed in October 2023, mainly served to redistribute packages and not for storage. The employees, including numerous students, were transported to the hall with free buses from Zweibrücken and Pirmasens. In addition, Amazon made the Germany ticket available to employees.
Details for closure
The contracts of the employees were limited because the temporary character of the facility was known from the start. It is unclear what happens to the hall after the closure and whether Amazon returns to this location. Logistics projects take time and future planning can only be confirmed if you have achieved certain progress.
The temporary distribution center was set up to relieve other locations during the Christmas business. The logistics centers in Frankenthal, Kaiserslautern and Koblenz store packages from the area between Stuttgart and Munich. Also in the region, in the Rastatt district, a new logistics center for Mercedes-Benz is currently being built, which is to go into operation in the second quarter of 2025 and create 500 jobs, such as Merkur reported.
