Mercado Livre expands its logistics with two new Distribution Centres

As a result, Mercado Livre will double its logistics infrastructure, with more than 1.2 million square meters, 72% of which (875,000 square meters) will correspond to fulfillment operations (dedicated to the storage of sellers' products and processes ranging from receipt of the order until delivery to the end customer).

According to Leandro Bassoi, Logistics Vice President at Mercado Livre, the company will have eight fulfillment distribution centres and more than 100 last-mile centers by the end of 2021 – from the current 80. This entire structure will allow the company to expand deliveries by up to 1 day to 2,100 Brazilian cities. The delivery acceleration plan also includes 17 Cross Dockings – a distribution and storage system in which products received by a CD are sent to their destination without the need for storage, more than 100 Service Centers, and 3 thousand Mercado Livre branches. Mercado Livre also informed that the DCs of Governador Celso Ramos (SC), Cajamar (SP), and Extrema (MG), both inaugurated in July, are already in operation.
