Press Releases
NAGOYA, June 15, 2000 - Federal Express Corporation, the
world's largest express transportation company, today announced
that it has relocated its Nagoya station, significantly expanding
the operation's facilities. The relocation further enhances
service systems for FedEx customers in the Chubu region,
and is the first step toward FedEx's goal of reinforcing
its business in the Chubu region in the mid- to long-term
future.
FedEx moved its office at the end of May from Higashi-ku
to Atsuta-ku, Nagoya, where the company has opened its own
station facilities. The new facility is three times as large
as the previous one. It is also incorporated to form a new
"super" station where package inventory management, packing,
picking and forwarding are handled continuously and seamlessly.
FedEx aims to expand its business in the Chubu region, and
the establishment of the new office and distribution station
serves as a first step in that direction. Through the full
utilization of EDC functions, FedEx's customers can expect
enhanced efficiency through more efficient logistics systems.
David J. Ross, vice president of the North Pacific Region
for FedEx, emphasizes the importance of FedEx's strategy
as: "The Chubu region has developed to become one of the
leading industrialized areas in Japan. For the opening of
the The 2005 International Exposition, Aichi, Japan, and
a new International Airport, this region would make rapid
progress as the center of industries that is directly connected
to the world. On the other hand, FedEx has achieved outstanding
results by providing customers with logistic solutions for
supply chain management worldwide. I hope that the new station
would reflect these results, and strongly support the globalization
of customers in the Chubu region."
