Logistics Insight Asia - Top Story, 16/12/2009

FedEx Trade Networks has opened seven freight forwarding offices across Asia and Europe as part of a global expansion plan. The company has opened a total of 14 new freight forwarding locations in 2009.

In Asia, the facilities are located in Xiamen, Tianjin, Dalian and Ningbo, China, as well as a representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. These new offices support the company's international freight forwarding operations and provide comprehensive coverage in key Asia-Pacific trade lanes.

In Europe, the company opened two new facilities in Paris, France and Amsterdam, Netherlands. These openings mark the company’s first owned operations in Europe and will allow FedEx Trade Networks to provide its customers with enhanced freight forwarding services between Europe, Asia and North America, including additional support and capabilities in the growing Europe-Asia trade lane.

The Netherlands office also serves as the company’s headquarters for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

The expansion will result in benefits for customers, including:
· Increased local market presence providing improved freight-forwarding service offerings in Asia and Europe, productivity and end-to-end support;
· Direct access to local personnel with industry experience and local expertise to support all needs;
· Expanded regional access to services including international direct distribution, supply chain visibility, online FedEx trade tools such as WorldTariff, and trade and customs advisory services; and
· Seamless support across other FedEx operating companies in each market and enhanced access to the FedEx global network.
