2002 Press Releases
FedEx expansion will better serve its customers in the dynamic area around Chonburi province and the Eastern Seaboard.
BANGKOK, October 21, 2002 - FedEx, the world's largest express transportation company, has tripled the size of its Bangna Station facilities, with office and operational areas now covering 800 square meters. The expanded station includes an additional 16-van line-up to enhance the company's fast and reliable ground services.
The FedEx Bangna station provides express services to customers in Samut Prakan, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri and the Eastern Bangkok area, including Prachin Buri and Rayong with 30 vehicles, including express delivery vans, motorbikes and trucks for large consignments. The 800-square meter facility offers services from Monday to Saturday, from 9.00 a.m. until 18.00 p.m. Shipments are transported to Don Muang International Airport on the same day that they arrive in Bangna. They are then routed worldwide via FedEx's Asia Pacific Hub in Subic Bay, Philippines. FedEx delivers packages overnight to 19 Asian cities through its AsiaOne Network, and to more than 211 countries in 24-48 hours.
"The expansion at Bangna demonstrates FedEx's commitment to Thailand, with the continuous expansion and upgrading of our facilities and services in the Kingdom", said Mr. Rhicke Jennings, Managing Director of FedEx Thailand. He added, "With the expansion of the Bangna station, we increase our presence in Thailand to better serve our customers wherever they are. These new facilities illustrate our company's efforts to support the development of the Chonburi area and the dynamic Eastern Seaboard, two regions with real needs for fast and reliable international air express services."
Aside from the expansion of the Bangna station, FedEx continuously reinforces its services nationwide with the recent opening of two new stations, one in Korat and the other in Laem Chabang, near the Industrial Parks and the Export Processing Zone (EPZ).
