Rotterdam, Hamburg and Frankfurt are the newest locations in growing FedEx Trade Network’s freight forwarding expansion.
Since initiating its worldwide expansion plan in 2008, the Memphis-based freight forwarder has opened a total of 28 new freight forwarding offices throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, in addition to more than 60 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
The addition of offices in Rotterdam, Hamburg and Frankfurt is the latest step in a global expansion in which FedEx Trade Networks is establishing operations in some of the world’s most significant freight forwarding markets. Rotterdam is Europe’s largest container port and enables significant intra-European and intra-continental trade. Hamburg is strategically situated on the Elbe river shipping channel and is a vital transshipment center for cargo arriving from or destined for Asia. CargoCity Frankfurt is one of the world’s top ten airports in terms of freight volume and has emerged as one of the world’s top cargo hubs.
The office in Rotterdam is the second FedEx Trade Networks office to open in the Netherlands. The company also has an office in Amsterdam, which serves as its Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) headquarters and accommodates its air freight forwarding operations.
