Ozon's customs and logistics center will be built in the Sverdlovsk region in 2026.

"This is a significant event for the region's economy: transportation and storage account for more than a quarter of fixed capital investment. The facility will occupy up to 3,500 square meters. It will handle customs clearance of goods and their storage until the necessary customs documents are received. It will be equipped with the latest loading and unloading equipment, weighing equipment, and automated access control and management systems. <...> The opening of this center strengthens the Sverdlovsk Region's position as a dry port and promotes trade development throughout the country," Denis Pasler wrote.

The agreement was signed at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok by Vladimir Goncharevich, Director of Regional and International Government Relations at Ozon, and Yuri Patanin, CEO of the Sverdlovsk Region Investment Promotion Agency.

The new infrastructure will enable the processing of up to 250,000 parcels per day, reducing delivery times for essential goods.

It's worth noting that the number of Sverdlovsk residents developing their businesses with Ozon reached 14,000 over the past year, and their turnover amounted to 36 billion rubles—a 33% increase over the previous year.

"Creating favorable conditions for business development in the region is one of our priorities. We are developing not only the domestic market but also international cooperation. One of our goals is to deliver foreign goods not available in Russia at an affordable price. The launch of a new logistics center will accelerate the delivery of such in-demand foreign products," said Vladimir Goncharevich.

The Sverdlovsk Region Investment Promotion Agency will select a site that best meets the company's requirements and will assist at all stages of cooperation, said Yuri Patanin.

In March of this year, the company launched its first customs and logistics center in the Amur Region. The Ozon online platform connects over 600,000 entrepreneurs with 60.5 million active buyers. Sellers offer a wide selection of 370 million products on the platform. The company provides businesses with digital, logistics, and advertising services to develop online sales.
