Now AliExpress, whose second-largest overseas market is Spain, is looking to develop a new logistics centre in the metropolitan area of ​​Seville. The firm is following in the footsteps of its principal competitor, the US behemoth Amazon. AliExpress is now looking to build a 120,000-m2 logistics platform in the Megapark Business Estate, where its rival has a 200,000-m2 facility. AliExpress’s immediate needs include an approximately 60,000-m2 warehouse, with the possibility of further expansion. Megapark benefits from easy access to rail, road and maritime transport links.
