FedEx expands operations center in Costa Rica with focus on healthcare logistics

FedEx has expanded its Operations Center in Costa Rica, marking the 25th anniversary of its presence in the country. The center, located in El Quijote Logistics Park in Belén de Heredia and inaugurated in 2022, now covers 12,600 square meters, representing a 26% increase and occupying more than half of the logistics park.

The expansion includes new last-mile ground operations to support existing import and export activities. FedEx has also added two temperature-controlled cold rooms certified under IATA’s CEIV program for pharmaceutical cargo, as well as two additional cold rooms for non-pharmaceutical products. A dedicated area for Special Logistics Services (SEL) has also been introduced.

“This year marks the 25th anniversary of FedEx operations in Costa Rica. This new investment drives greater capacity and operational efficiency to meet the growing market demand and help strengthen the competitiveness of Costa Rican businesses on the global stage,” said Basil Khalil, vice president of operations for FedEx Caribbean and Central America. “By investing in infrastructure and service enhancements, we’re enabling faster, more flexible, and more efficient cross-border trade.”
