Today, Rustam Minnikhanov, the Head of the Republic of Tatarstan, solemnly opened the third stage of the logistics complex on the territory of the Zelenodolsk Industrial Park. The event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan Midkhat Shagiakhmetov.
Let us recall that the developer Romex has commissioned the third stage of the logistics complex in the territory of the Zelenodolsk industrial Park to the Ozon marketplace.

It was also announced plans to open another fulfillment center in the region with a total area of 85 thousand square meters.
Let us recall that the warehouse complex in Zelenodolsk has been operating since 2020 and carries out a full cycle of online order processing - from receiving sellers' goods to forming parcels.
As a result of the expansion, the area of the logistics center has increased, and today the logistics hub is able to simultaneously accommodate up to 17 million goods of different categories, and its processing capacity has increased by about 80%.
With the launch of the working capacity of the third stage of the warehouse, customers will be able to receive up to 620 thousand goods per day from Zelenodolsk.
"Today we are opening the third stage and at the same time we are launching the construction of the fourth stage of the Ozon logistics complex in Zelenodolsk. I thank our partner, Romex–Kuban, which has already invested 12 billion rubles in the implementation of projects in the republic. I express my gratitude to the State Corporation for the Development of VEB.RF for its support in the development of e-commerce," said Rustam Minnikhanov, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan.
"The e-commerce implementation program is aimed not only at providing high-quality services to Tatarstan residents, but it is primarily an opportunity for Tatarstan sales enterprises to enter the market. Thanks to these opportunities, in 4 years the number of sales companies has grown from 321 to 60 thousand, and their annual turnover has increased from 290 million to 60 billion rubles. I emphasize that this is both the quality of customer service and new jobs," Rustam Minnikhanov said further.

"It is important that new projects are launched and new jobs are created," she said. – I would like to sincerely congratulate you personally, Rustam Nurgalievich (Minnikhanov), the whole team, the single-industry town of Zelenodolsk. And for a single-industry town, every workplace is important. And every ruble invested in the economy of the city and the republic is returned many times. Therefore, our contribution to this infrastructure seems to be small, but very with great results. Therefore, congratulations to everyone on the completion of this project and on the launch of a new one. I know that you, Rustam Nurgalievich, are moving further to Sviyazhsk-Zernoprodukt, and I also want to congratulate the republic on the launch of this large project – Sviyazhsk-Zernoprodukt, which also has 1 billion funds from VEB.RF," Irina Makieva said.
