The e-commerce giant, Shopee, takes a significant step in its expansion in Brazil with the opening of its second-largest distribution center, located in Guarulhos, São Paulo. Shopee, part of Singapore’s Sea Group, established its presence in Brazil in 2020, marking its first foray outside of Asia. Since then, it has experienced substantial growth, now operating nine distribution centers in Brazilian territory.

With this inauguration, Shopee strengthens its presence in the Brazilian market, where it already has more than three million sellers on its platform, responsible for over 90% of the company’s sales in the country.

The opening of the new distribution center in Guarulhos comes at a strategic moment. As online retail grows in Brazil, Shopee is positioning itself as one of the leading platforms for shopping and online sales.

With the addition of Guarulhos to its portfolio of distribution centers, Shopee is preparing to efficiently meet the increased demand during these events.

With nine distribution centers operating in Brazilian territory, Shopee adopts the “cross-docking“ model, which allows for efficient collection and delivery while reducing storage. In addition to the distribution centers, the company maintains approximately 100 smaller logistical hubs and over 1,400 collection and delivery points, providing a complete ecosystem for sellers and consumers.
