Fedex chooses Philippines for planned backroom office
Federal Express (FedEx) has chosen the Philippines as the site for a planned regional hub that will handle the logistics firm’s Asia Pacific business process operations (BPO) and the firm is now scouting for an area in Manila, the BusinessWorld newspaper reported, citing a FedEx statement.
The report said FedEx will set up the backroom office after it closes its regional air trans-shipment hub at the Subic Freeport Zone in the province of Zambales in Dec 2008.
The regional BPO hub will handle most of FedEx’s human resource and accounting functions in Asia Pacific which are currently done in individual countries where the logistics company operates.
About 100 staff will be required for the new BPO operation.
