Mercado Libre will begin operations in two new distribution centers located in Río Cuarto and Villa María, where it will concentrate part of its national logistics network. Each facility is expected to create at least one hundred and fifty initial jobs, with a direct impact on local economies seeking to attract private investment. The announcement consolidates the company's return to Córdoba after months of tax tensions with Passerini, which had stalled its expansion.
In Río Cuarto, Mayor Guillermo De Rivas considered that the company's arrival consolidates the city's productive profile, expanding its infrastructure. The new logistics base will be coordinated with recent roadworks, which improve the capacity to absorb commercial and technological growth. The company valued the availability of services and skilled labor in the region.
The opening also has a strong impact in Villa María, where it was confirmed that the site will be located on the highway frontage road to facilitate regional distribution. Mayor Eduardo Accastello stated that the decision represents progress in the local development and employment agenda supported by the provincial government. The facility is part of a sustained investment process that the city has been promoting in recent years.
Cada instalación prevé al menos ciento cincuenta empleos iniciales
A new scenario in the province
The rapprochement between the company and the Province marks a different stage compared to the conflict that months ago had led to the closure of offices in the Capital. The provincial administration interprets the return as the result of a negotiation that solved tax tensions that had caused uncertainty. The possibility of enabling a third center in the future emerges as an option linked to the size of the Córdoba market.
The installation of these centers offers competitive advantages for the entire province, as it improves delivery times and energizes activities related to transportation and commerce. For the municipalities involved, the establishment means new jobs and additional economic activity that directly impact businesses and suppliers. Local business chambers consider that the company's presence strengthens Córdoba's position on the national logistics map.
The arrival also strengthens the trend of technology companies to expand into the interior, where they find more competitive costs and growing productive ecosystems. Local authorities emphasize that this type of investment boosts urban development and positions cities as regional innovation hubs. With the centers already underway, the province expects the flow of activities to generate sustained positive effects in the coming months.
