National Association of Manufacturers and Fedex Sign shipping agreement
The National Association of Manufacturers and FedEx have signed an agreement that will make an array of FedEx air, ground and international shipping services available to thousands of association members.
“As with all good business agreements, this one adds considerable value for both the Association and FedEx,” explained NAM Vice President for Marketing and Business Development David Walker. “FedEx offers our member companies more economical access to its world-class air, ground and international shipping services. The NAM gives FedEx access to our roughly 14,000 members, which represent an attractive mix of small and medium-size businesses as well as global companies.”
The addition of FedEx to the NAM’s award-winning Freight Alliance Program fills the last significant gap in a portfolio of shipping services. NAM members will now enjoy member discounts with FedEx Express and FedEx Ground.
“Even a small company like mine stands to benefit from the NAM-FedEx deal,” said Fletcher Steele, an NAM Board member and president of the Pine Hall Brick Company in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. “We’ll save an average of $4,000 to $5,000 every year by taking full advantage of this new alliance.”
“The formation of this alliance with the National Association of Manufacturers gives FedEx access to a very desirable and very loyal membership,” said Brian Philips, vice president of U.S. Marketing at FedEx. “This innovative program will offer NAM members our FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipping services at pricing levels that will make them even more competitive in the global marketplace.”
