FedEx Trade Networks, the freight forwarding arm of FedEx Corp., has opened new branches in Johannesburg, South Africa; Bologna, Italy; and Ankara and Izmir, Turkey.
The move is part of an expansion plan started in 2008. FedEx has since opened 45 forwarding offices in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia to complement its 70 locations in the United States and Canada.
The opening of the new office in Johannesburg marks the Memphis-based company’s entry into the South African market. The offices in Bologna, Ankara and Izmir are all additional locations in Italy and Turkey. FedEx Trade Networks opened an office in Milan in November 2010 and established operations in Istanbul in August.
