Amazon marked the grand opening of its newest fulfilment centre, YHM2, in Cambridge, Ont., Nov. 13, measuring nearly one million square feet, with more than 250 employees at launch.
The new facility offers in-demand skills training and career growth opportunities while helping optimize Amazon’s regional operations network.
Because of Cambridge’s strategic location, YHM2 plays a key role in supporting Amazon fulfilment centres in southwestern Ontario as the company prepares for the holiday season.
Employees will have the opportunity to build new skills and grow their careers by participating in training and certification programs related to the technology operated by the site, including forklifts.
At the ribbon cutting ceremony, Amazon welcomed Ontario’s minister of red tape reduction, Mike Harris, MPP Brian Riddell, Karen Redman, regional chair of the Waterloo Region and City of Cambridge Councillor Helen Shwery.
At YHM2, Amazon product inventory is stored, managed and distributed to regional Amazon Robotics fulfilment centres, allowing them to fulfil a wider selection of customer orders at the fastest-possible delivery speeds.
“YHM2 brings the best of Amazon’s logistics expertise to Cambridge while making the city an important part of how we support our local fulfilment network and offer a leading product selection to customers,” said Greg Clutton, YHM2 site lead. “We are proud to be creating good jobs while making important contributions to the local community.”
