The official opening comes after the retailer deployed its employees at the facility in November last year to process and deliver customer orders.

The facility will facilitate picking, packing and shipping smaller customer items such as books, electronics, small household goods and toys.

Windsor fulfilment centre general manager Gurol Butun said: “We’re thrilled to officially open our next-generation Amazon Robotic fulfilment centre here in Windsor so we can continue to deliver for our customers in Connecticut and beyond.

“Not only are we bringing good jobs to this area, the team here is already giving back by supporting great projects and organizations in our community. It’s a privilege to lead this team and create a safe, engaging, and fun workplace that allows our employees to flourish.”
