Amazon's vice president of North American operations Akash Chauhan said: “Our ongoing expansion in California started just four short years ago and is the result of two things: incredible customers and an outstanding workforce in this state.
“Customers are seeing on a regular basis Amazon’s customer obsession, innovative culture, and operational excellence, which is all driven by the 14,000-plus Californians who work in Amazon's fulfilment centers across the state. We are incredibly proud of what has been accomplished in California.”
At the new 855,001f² fulfilment facility, employees will pick, pack, and ship smaller customer items, such as books, electronics, and toys.
