Federal Express Corporation has opened a new facility in Bilbao, Spain, aimed at increasing its logistics capabilities in the region. The company says this move will enhance its capacity and productivity to meet growing demand for logistics and e-commerce services.
The new Bilbao site covers 2,700 square meters of warehouse space, which is nearly 2,000 square meters more than the previous location. It also includes an additional 400 square meters of office space over two floors. According to FedEx, the upgraded infrastructure allows for double the previous sorting capacity and can process up to 1,500 packages per hour. The station features 27 loading docks, an increase of 20 from before.
“This new complex represents a significant investment in our operational capabilities and allows us to enhance our service offerings for customers, supporting their international aspirations and operational needs,” said Ian Silverton, Managing Director of Ground Operations, FedEx Spain and Portugal. “With the Bilbao station, we considerably increase our operational footprint and improve efficiency, while also enabling us to handle greater volumes.”
