In the month of September, in the Extrema distribution center alone, we increased the number of vacancies by 50%, preparing ourselves for the growing demand not only for that month, but also for the next ones. In October, we should have an average inventory increase of 60%. This growth brings not only logistical costs (separation, packaging and controls), but also in contracting service, inputs, carriers, throughout the operational chain”.
Recently, Infracommerce built a new distribution center in Minas
Infracommerce, the company responsible for the operation of E-commerce of giants such as Nike, Ambev, Unilever, Motorola, Ray Ban and other national and international brands, has just started activities in Extrema, in the south of Minas Gerais. The inauguration of the distribution center (DC) will generate around 300 direct jobs, which could reach more than 500 during the Black Friday commercial event.
According to him, the choice for Extrema, in the state of Minas Gerais, was due to a combination of factors such as the strategic location, since the city is close to large consumer centers, the existence of tax incentives for some customers, which helps in the viability of the operation, and the fact that Minas Gerais represents the third largest consumer hub among the company's 260 customers.
Although it is being inaugurated, the distribution center has already been in operation since the beginning of July. The preparation of the facilities began in April. The unit in Minas Gerais will generate around 300 direct jobs, which could reach more than 500 during Black Friday, in addition to boosting the local economy with hundreds of indirect jobs, according to the Vice President of Operations.
