Amazon.com says it will open two new distribution centres in Ontario that will create more than 2,500 new full-time jobs.

The warehouses are to be in Hamilton and Ajax, Ont.

The new 855,000 square-foot Hamilton Fulfillment Centre will employ more than 1,500 employees who will work alongside Amazon robotics to pick, pack and ship small items to customers such as books, electronics and toys.

 
At the one million square-foot Ajax Fulfillment Centre more than 1,000 employees will pack and ship large customer purchases such as sports equipment, patio furniture, fishing rods, pet food, kayaks, bicycles and other household goods.

Amazon also recently added five new nearby delivery stations in Stoney Creek, Kitchener, Vaughan and Toronto (Etobicoke and Scarborough). The Etobicoke site has already launched, and the Kitchener site will launch later this year. The Stoney Creek, Scarborough and Vaughan sites will launch in 2021.

This will bring Amazon’s total to 10 fulfillment centres in Ontario and 16 in Canada.
