FedEx opens 2 new facilities here to support Asia-Pacific operations

-

FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. and the world’s largest express transporta­tion company, recently launched two service facilities in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, and Clark, Pampanga that aim to support FedEx operations within the Philippine­s and neighborin­g countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

The Philippine­s is important to the FedEx growth strategy in APAC, making it an optimal location for long-term infrastruc­ture investment­s. Located in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, the Philippine IT Center joins centers in Singapore and Hong Kong as the third regional software developmen­t center for APAC solutions enhancemen­t. Meanwhile, the APAC Trade Facilitati­on Center in Clark, Pampanga performs clearance preparatio­n work such as data management, profile matching, and other administra­tive tasks, to support APAC markets including Japan and Singapore.

With a combined worth of US$2.15 million, the new centers are part of the Next Generation Office design implementa­tion in all FedEx APAC facilities. The FedEx Taguig and Pampanga sites are equipped with the latest technologi­es that aim to enhance collaborat­ion, promote learning, offer flexible working environmen­ts, and improve employee mobility.

“With trade thriving in the Philippine­s and across APAC, it is necessary to keep pace with advanced facilities to ensure that we keep our Purple Promise to make every customer experience outstandin­g,” said John Peterson, FedEx Express managing director for the Philippine­s. “At FedEx we are extremely proud to reinforce our long-term commitment to the Philippine­s through these new centers. This developmen­t has also enabled us to create jobs as we have welcomed new FedEx team members to support these facilities.”
