FedEx has inaugurated a new 2,700m2 facility in Bilbao, northern Spain, significantly enhancing its operational footprint in the region.
The new Bilbao complex includes an extra 2,000m2 of warehouse space, along with 400m2 of office space. It can process up to 1,500 packages per hour, more than doubling the sorting capacity of the former facility.
It includes 27 loading docks, 20 more than before, and is well-equipped to streamline shipment processing.
“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,” commented Ian Silverton, managing director of ground operations, FedEx Spain and Portugal.
The new facility in Bilbao is one of several operated by FedEx in the Basque region of Spain. The international logistics and transportation company operates stations in Vitoria and San Sebastian, as well as the air gateway in Vitoria that provides connectivity to Europe and America. Collectively, these facilities boast a combined sorting capacity of up to 6,000 packages per hour.
Last month, FedEx opened a new air and ground logistics facility at Tallinn Airport in Estonia, establishing a direct connection to the company’s European air hub at Paris Roissy-Charles de Gaulle in France.
