FedEx is marking the 25th anniversary of its operations center at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle by announcing the completion of a new building dedicated to handling heavy goods and cargo over 68 kg. This €30 million investment will be fully operational in 2025 and is part of FedEx's ongoing network optimization to adapt to changing market trends. The aim is to enhance service quality for businesses shipping heavy items within Europe and internationally.
The existing infrastructure, set to become a hub for heavy cargo operations, is being remodeled in collaboration with Groupe ADP (Aéroports de Paris). Spanning 22,200 square meters, the facility will centralize heavy goods processing in one location. It will feature state-of-the-art equipment, including scanners and mobile weight measurement systems, leading to energy savings through LED lighting.
"We are delighted to announce this new enhancement of our operations with the addition of a building dedicated to freight transportation at our historic Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle hub on its 25th anniversary," said Julien Ducoup, Vice President Hub Operations at FedEx France. "This will strengthen our sorting capabilities as we see significant opportunities in parcel and deferred transport markets. As we celebrate these 25 years, we are proud to continue contributing positively to the regional economy: today, for every job created by FedEx, four more jobs are generated in the Île-de-France area. Our hub has played a key role in some historical moments, including the first delivery of vaccines during the COVID-19 crisis. We remain committed to our customers and businesses in France and Europe and are determined to continue innovating to anticipate market changes," he added.
