Federal Express Corporation, widely known as FedEx, is set to participate for the first time in the third International Cold Chain Industry Exhibition (KOREA COLD CHAIN 2025). The exhibition will take place from April 22 to 25 at the KINTEX Exhibition Center in Ilsan.

This event, supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), is organized by the Korea Food Cold Chain Association and KY Exposition. It's a platform to explore the future of cold chain logistics, showcasing the latest technologies and solutions across various fields requiring temperature control such as the transport, distribution, storage, packaging, and supply chain management of perishable goods and healthcare products. The exhibition coincides with other major logistics shows, including the 15th Korea International Logistics Fair (KOREA MAT).

FedEx will present its comprehensive logistics services through a booth themed around "FedEx," "Express," "Freight," and "Cold Chain." The focus will be on demonstrating end-to-end cold chain logistics capabilities for temperature-sensitive shipments, from perishable foods to precision pharmaceuticals.
