FedEx forwarding arm opens Poland, Dubai offices

FedEx forwarding arm opens Poland, Dubai offices    FedEx Trade Networks, the freight forwarding subsidiary of FedEx, said Tuesday it has opened new offices in Warsaw and Gdynia, Poland, as well as one in Dubai.
   'The strength of the Polish economy, in addition to its central location in Europe and on the Baltic Sea, enables significant intra-European trade via the offices in Warsaw and Gdynia,' the company said in a statement. 'As one of the fastest growing cargo hubs in the world, Dubai's strategic location halfway between the Asia-Pacific and European markets better connects FedEx Trade Networks customers to both of those regions.'
   FedEx Trade Networks has opened 25 new freight forwarding offices globally since an expansion plan began in 2008.
   'Our customers tell us that they prefer doing business with providers that have a physical presence in the regions in which they trade,' said Fred Schardt, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Trade Networks.
