Fedex Corp., one of the leading American logistics companies, said Monday it opened 800 job opportunities following the completion of a $30-million, 17,000 square meter state-of-the-art gateway facility at Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone.
“FedEx has always been at the forefront of defining what’s next for our customers. We remain focused on optimizing our air and ground network to meet evolving customer needs. Plans for the Clark Gateway have been in place since before the demand for e-commerce soared. With a finger on the pulse of global trade, we made this strategic investment to enhance connectivity and support for Philippine businesses venturing into international markets,” said Kawal Preet, FedEx Express president for Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region.
The cargo terminal, equipped with the most modern package handling capabilities, supports 36 weekly flights. The facility’s expansive dedicated freight-handling area spans 630 square meters. The facility supports the growing e-commerce demand of bulk shipments and large itemse specially for the upcoming peak season shipping volumes.
