FedEx Trade Networks adds three offices in Eurasia
FedEx Trade Networks, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. and growing international ocean and air freight forwarder, announced its expanded global presence with three new freight forwarding offices in Europe and Asia. The new offices in Munich, Germany, Bucharest, Romania and Chengdu, China represent the latest step in the company’s ongoing global expansion plan.
“Today’s shippers need a freight forwarder with global reach,” Fred Schardt, president and CEO of FedEx Trade Networks, said. “By continuing to build our infrastructure in the world’s most critical growth markets, we are delivering on our commitment to provide what we feel is the most complete portfolio of supply chain solutions in the industry.”

The new offering gives customers the ability to choose and implement the ocean freight forwarding service that best fits their supply chain needs—whether the product demands flexibility or speed-to-market distribution services.
