Amazon's presence will provide noticeable benefits for the regional employment market," explains Pforzheim Mayor Gert Hager.
Dr Rudolf Kühner, District President of the administrative district of Karlsruhe adds: "I am delighted that Amazon has chosen Pforzheim and that we were able to support their search for a site.
