In late 2017, Amazon opened its new logistics centre near Sered, making it the latest European country to host an Amazon logistics operation. This historically significant southern town is located in the Danubian Lowland on the bank of the Váh, Slovakia’s longest river. Within easy reach of the Little Carpathian mountain range, it is one of the warmest and driest regions in Slovakia, with a rich wine-making tradition that includes sparkling wine produced using traditional champagne techniques. The town is also renowned for its cookies, biscuits, wafers and river rafting (for the more fitness-conscious). Other attractions include the Esterházy castle. This innovative facility will employ 1000 people within three years, in addition to the 850 employees who already work at the successful Bratislava Corporate Office. The new innovative Sered logistics centre offers the chance to work with the latest cutting-edge technology to assess returned items for repair, recycling or reuse.
