FedEx expands German road network
Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) today announced the opening of a new road hub in Alzenau, Germany.
Located in the Süd B30 industrial area in Lower Franconia, the new facility will create approximately 85 new jobs in the region, supporting the efficient movement of freight and bulk shipments across Germany and Europe. The investment reinforces the company’s commitment to providing businesses with reliable access to European markets.
The facility is located in an existing building and offers approximately 15,500 square metres of warehouse space, 32 loading bays and parking capacity for up to 50 trailers. Equipped with modern sorting and handling technology, it is designed to process freight, non-conveyable shipments, and parcels, while helping optimise operations across the FedEx European road network.
“The opening of our Alzenau facility reflects our continued commitment to supporting our customers’ growth across Germany and Europe,” said Boris Stoffer, Managing Director Network Operations Germany at FedEx. “By enhancing our road network, we are creating greater connectivity, flexibility, and reliability for businesses. This investment strengthens our ability to help customers access new opportunities and grow their businesses.”
Situated in the Rhine-Main region east of Frankfurt am Main, Alzenau benefits from excellent access to Germany’s major transport corridors. Its proximity to existing FedEx facilities and direct connections to the A3 and A45 motorways position the site as an important gateway for domestic and international freight flows.
“FedEx is a strong partner for businesses of all sizes, offering an integrated air and road network, extensive logistics and customs expertise, and more than 50 years of experience in global transportation,” said Alun Cornish, Vice President Network Operations Europe. “Thanks to our network and comprehensive service portfolio, ranging from parcel to freight shipments, we are ideally positioned to support both B2B customers, including industries such as healthcare and automotive, as well as the premium B2C e-commerce segment. In doing so, we help businesses strengthen their growth ambitions and competitiveness over the long term.”
The Alzenau facility is set to become operational in time for the peak season, which is traditionally characterized by higher shipment volumes and global retail events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
As a trusted partner for B2B customers and high-value e-commerce businesses, FedEx offers both fast Express services and Economy shipping options for domestic and international shipments. The company is making targeted investments in modern infrastructure and digitalization to optimize processes while enhancing service levels for its customers.
The investment in Alzenau forms part of the company’s ongoing strategy to optimise and strengthen its European network. With the addition of Alzenau, FedEx now operates four road hubs in Germany, alongside facilities in Hanover, Nuremberg and Wiesbaden. These hubs are connected to the FedEx European road network, which links 700 locations and gateways across 45 countries, giving customers access to one of Europe’s largest and fastest road transportation networks for parcels and freight.
