Mercado Libre invests $9.7 million in Mendoza logistics expansion

Mercado Libre is expanding its operations in Mendoza, Argentina, through a total investment of $9.7 million. This includes $8 million for a new 11,000-square-meter last-mile logistics center in Luján de Cuyo and $1.7 million for new corporate offices in the Workplace Palmares tower.

The new logistics center is expected to process up to 96,000 packages daily and create approximately 1,050 direct and indirect jobs. This facility is more than double the size of the company’s existing operation in Godoy Cruz.

Additionally, Mendoza will be integrated into Mercado Libre’s air shipping network. The service will utilize Aerolíneas Argentinas' commercial flight cargo holds, providing five weekly frequencies. This expansion aims to reduce delivery times and support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by improving connectivity across the country.
