Amazon recently opened a fulfillment center in Papillion, its first in Nebraska, that will create 1,000 jobs. The company says the fulfillment center was built in response to increasing customer demand in the region. The new, 1 million-square-foot facility will pack and ship orders.
“To open Amazon’s first sortable fulfillment center in Nebraska is a milestone moment, and we look forward to further supporting customers in Papillion, Omaha, and surrounding communities,” said Site Leader Aaron Schmidt. “We have created good jobs that pay well with comprehensive benefits, as our amazing team continues to hire and focus on Amazon’s mission to be the most customer-centric company.”
The fulfillment center is Amazon’s fifth operational location in the Omaha area. The company says they already have more than 1,000 employees in the area across all locations. Amazon claims the fulfillment center will eventually have 1,000 employees by itself.
