CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, recently inaugurated its new Amazon fulfillment center in Santa Maria, Federal District, Brazil. The new facility is located approximately 30 kilometers from Brazil’s capital city, Brasilia, confirming the area as a strategic logistics hub for the central-west region of the country.
The new 67,000sqm fulfillment center will support up to 135,000 packages daily, helping Amazon Brazil to quickly and reliably reach its end-customers.
