FedEx Corp. will readjust from March 1, 2018, its logistics and e-commerce solutions in a new structure under FedEx Trade Networks, Inc. (FTN), creating an organization focused on serving the needs of this important growth driver.
Led by FTN CEO Richard W. Smith, the elements of this new organization include:
- FedEx Custom Critical
- FedEx Cross Border
- FedEx Supply Chain
- FedEx Trade Networks Transport & Brokerage
Detailed information have not been given regarding these new solutions.
- A new company called FedEx Forward Depots with responsibility for Critical Inventory and Service Parts Logistics, 3D Printing, Repair Center and the FedEx Packaging Lab.
FedEX and 3D Printing
FedEX is not the first shipment company which readjusts it offering taking into account 3D Printing. UPS preceded the company by integrating 3D Printing services in 2013. DHL on its side has also a keen interest in additive manufacturing. However, it would seem that the first idea of FedEX was to “go local” with manufacturing.
“This realignment under FedEx Trade Networks will allow us to offer customers the full power of our wide array of unique and competitively advantaged customized services in a way that is even more convenient and intuitive,” said Richard W. Smith, CEO, FedEx Trade Networks. “I am delighted to lead this organization of talented FedEx team members in delivering to customers the power of the broad FedEx global portfolio.”
