A little over a year since breaking ground in 2015, FedEx Express\u00a0has opened its new \u201cmini hub\u201d in southern Europe at Milan-Malpensa Airport. In spite of its diminutive nickname, the facility is three times the size of the former FedEx facility, making it the company\u2019s third-largest cargo hub in Europe, behind Paris CDG and Cologne. The 35,000-square-meter express logistics facility\u2019s new systems will boost package-sorting capacity by 25 percent over the previous setup.
\n\u201cWith 95 percent of the world\u2019s consumers living outside U.S. borders, FedEx has prioritized its expansion in areas that drive profitable growth and, in turn, break down barriers and enable our customers to reach new markets,\u201d said David Cunningham, president and chief executive of FedEx Express.
\nFedEx Express\u2019 Malpensa facility connects Italian companies to global markets. The integrator said demand in Italy for air transport to international markets is on the rise.
\n\u201cExpanding our operations in Malpensa is a key part of our network growth strategy, creating more capacity and enabling more business connections in Europe and around the world,\u201d said David Binks, president of FedEx Express Europe and chief executive of TNT.
\nBinks noted that, in Italy alone, \u201cthe number of people making online purchases has doubled over the last five years, and purchases for 2016 are forecast to increase by 17 percent compared to 2015.\u201d
