Mercado Libre plans to install two new distribution centers in the province of Córdoba. The chosen locations would be Villa María and Río Cuarto, according to sources linked to the company. The official announcement will be made in mid-November, once the administrative procedures are completed.
The company is considering accessing the benefits of the Knowledge Economy Promotion Law, which grants tax exemptions to technology and digital services companies. The company confirmed the formal application, although it avoided specifying the investment amount and the scale of the operation.
Mercado Libre's regional logistics centers usually employ at least 150 direct and indirect workers, dedicated to storage, packaging, and distribution. Córdoba is thus positioned as a strategic point within the company's national network, due to its location and its significance in e-commerce.
Córdoba, a key logistics and commercial hub
With its central location and highway network, the province has established itself as a distribution corridor for the country's interior. The road infrastructure and proximity to large markets make Córdoba a node of high strategic value for e-commerce and logistics companies.
Mercado Libre's project comes after the controversy over provincial and municipal tax pressure, which led to the closure of its offices in the capital last July. Nevertheless, the company retained more than one thousand employees from the Software Development Center, who continue to work remotely.
