FedEx opens automated logistics center at Tallinn Airport to boost Estonian exports

Tõnu Väät, CEO of the Estonian E-Commerce Association, welcomed FedEx's expansion: “E-commerce in Estonia grows by around 20% every year, already reaching an annual turnover of 5.2 billion euros. There is certainly still room for growth in Estonian exports, especially in the field of e-commerce. One global obstacle is undoubtedly the high cost of logistics – volumes are small, and shipping is expensive.” He added: “Any investment in Estonia by an international logistics partner — whether in sorting capacity, warehouse space, or transportation modes — definitely lays a foundation for export growth. That’s why we welcome the opening of the new FedEx logistics center in Tallinn and hope that, in light of this recent development, we’ll also be able to offer Estonian e-merchants more competitive prices that support growth.”

The new warehouse triples previous space allocations and can handle up to 3,000 parcels per hour using multi-sided scanning technology for accurate processing. Its direct airport access allows daily FedEx flights linking Tallinn with Paris Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle—FedEx's largest European hub—and road connections extend service into Poland via Warsaw.

Office space totaling 1,200 square meters supports operational needs for staff members. The building incorporates sustainable features such as rooftop solar panels for electricity generation, motion-sensor lighting controls throughout offices and warehouses, electric vehicle charging stations onsite, and geothermal energy use via heat pumps for heating and cooling.

FedEx has operated in Estonia since 1994 and currently serves over 220 countries and territories worldwide. Its European Road network connects customers across 45 countries under one provider interface.
