en.Wedoany.com Reported - StroyProektServis will build a warehouse covering over 60,000 square meters for Russian e-commerce platform Ozon in the Irkutsk Region. The facility is expected to become operational as early as 2027, enabling Ozon to deliver orders to buyers faster and more efficiently, including to the most remote settlements. This logistics center will also help increase the circulation of goods for local businesses and create new jobs in the region.
The logistics center will handle the full cycle of order processing, from goods receipt and parcel packing to final delivery to customers. The warehouse can store approximately 15 million items and has a daily processing capacity of nearly 500,000 orders.
Aleksandr Startsev, Ozon's Director of Production Operations, stated that with the growth of online orders, Ozon is expanding its logistics infrastructure in the Irkutsk Region. Since the beginning of the year, order volume in the region has increased 1.7 times year-on-year (i.e., growing to 2.7 times), and the number of regular customers has risen by 50%. Currently, the average order volume per customer has increased by 75% compared to last year, with nearly 40% of goods shipped to buyers in small towns. Online orders from such towns in the region have nearly doubled year-on-year.
Currently, over 2,000 local sellers are developing their businesses on the Ozon platform. In 2025, their merchandise turnover grew by more than 40%, reaching 8.5 billion rubles. Many entrepreneurs offer unique products they produce themselves. To support this, with the backing of the Irkutsk Region government, the "Made in Irkutsk" section was launched on Ozon in 2025. Sellers can list their products in this section for free, promoting them to 67 million customers nationwide.
Sergey Merkuryev, General Director of StroyProektServis, stated that the company has become the general contractor for Ozon's large-scale warehouse complex project. All materials used in the construction, including concrete piles, pile caps, metal structures, and even the roof, are manufactured at the company's own base in Irkutsk.
Currently, two Ozon distribution hubs are operating in the Irkutsk Region, with a total area of about 20,000 square meters. These hubs deliver orders to over 1,200 pickup points. In 2026, Ozon also launched other logistics centers in Siberia, located in the Novosibirsk Region, Kemerovo Region, and Krasnoyarsk Krai. Once fully operational, the total ground floor area of these warehouses will exceed 235,000 square meters, capable of storing approximately 105 million items and handling up to 3 million orders per day.
Ozon uses the latest automation equipment in its warehouses, such as 3D sorters. One such sorter can process up to 10,000 parcels per hour, which is 2 to 3 times more efficient than manual sorting. The company has also implemented narrow-belt sorter projects to increase production efficiency in limited spaces. Additionally, Ozon has introduced conveyor belts for moving goods between different warehouse areas and floors, capable of handling over 35,000 items per hour.
