MOSCOW. March 16 (Interfax) - Ozon has commissioned the first phase of a new fulfillment center in the Kanavino district of Nizhny Novgorod, the company said on Monday.

Currently, the warehouse area exceeds 40,000 square meters of floor space. The warehouse can store more than 10 million items and process up to 180,000 orders per day.
