FedEx’s new facility to “support Lithuania’s thriving e-commerce sector”
Federal Express Corporation has officially opened a new sorting facility in Vilnius. The new facility, being built as Lithuanian companies continue to show strong aspirations for international trade, provides businesses with improved cross-border e-commerce capabilities and streamlined logistics operations.
The facility boasts a total area of nearly 3,700 square meters, encompassing a 2,500 m² warehouse and an office space of approximately 1,200 m². Equipped with an advanced sorting system, the facility features three docks for linehaul trucks, three van-truck docks (including one ground-level access), and 40 dedicated courier van docking docks, ensuring efficient handling of current and future parcel volumes.
The building also incorporates elements designed to create a comfortable working environment and greater energy efficiency, including best-in-class insulation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Strategically located near Vilnius’s western exit, the facility provides seamless connectivity with FedEx operations in Kaunas and Warsaw, enhancing access to the company’s European Road Network. Direct connectivity to daily flights from Kaunas to Paris Charles de Gaulle, one of the biggest air hubs in the FedEx network (with the Memphis World Hub as the biggest), ensures rapid delivery solutions for global markets.
Commitment to Growth in the CEE Region
The Vilnius facility is part of the company’s ongoing investment in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. In recent years, FedEx has strengthened its infrastructure by building or expanding 17 facilities in six countries in the region, driving innovation and enhancing logistics efficiency there.
“The new investment in Lithuania underscores our dedication to driving innovation and enhancing efficiency in the logistics industry,” said Mariusz Mik, Vice President Ground Operations Nordics, Eastern Europe, FedEx.
“This facility not only enhances delivery processes and reliability for Lithuanian businesses but also helps strengthen their competitiveness on the global stage. As online shopping continues to rise, at FedEx, we remain committed to providing innovative and customer-centric logistics solutions to support Lithuania’s thriving e-commerce sector.”
