FedEx Express opens a new station in Strasbourg
FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., has announced the opening of a new station in Strasbourg. The station, which is 2,400 sq m in size and operates 25 vans, will offer local customers, as well as those in the surrounding Alsace region, access and connectivity to 90% of the world GDP within two days. This station opening will also create 20 jobs for the region.
As the official seat of the European Parliament and several other European Institutions, Strasbourg is known for its strong international and political activity. It is an important centre for industries such as distribution, transport, life sciences, automobile and electronics, making it an ideal candidate to benefit from greater access to the FedEx Express global network. The station is connected through a road network to the FedEx European hub at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and to the Basel Airport, where FedEx operates.
"Strasbourg is a dynamic, cosmopolitan city where both political and commercial spheres are truly European. We are excited about growing our presence and the benefits we can offer businesses here, such as later pick up times. For example, a company needing a next-day delivery by 3 pm to a city in the East Coast of the US can tender their shipment as late as 5.30 pm the day before", commented Dirk van Impe, managing director, France Operations, FedEx Express.
