FedEx Ground inaugurates new distribution centre in Baltimore
PACKAGING shipping company, FedEx Ground, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp, has launched a new distribution facility at Baltimore-based multimodal global logistics centre Tradepoint Atlantic in Sparrows Point.
The Tradepoint Atlantic logistics centre, which spreads over a 3,100-acre site, provides supply chain firms with access to deepwater berths, railroads, highways, and storage space in Maryland.
The logistics facility connects existing FedEx Ground stations in White Marsh and Halethorpe, the company said, and will employ 275 full-time and part-time jobs with FedEx Ground, as well as 150 contracted service providers.
"FedEx is launching a new generation of jobs and business growth at Sparrows Point. Early on, FedEx Ground recognised the strategic advantages of its new Tradepoint Atlantic location - an integrated transportation network connecting to a major consumer market and a ready workforce," said Baltimore County executive Kevin Kamenetz.
"In January of last year, I was pleased to help announce that FedEx would become the very first company to locate here at the newly rebranded Tradepoint Atlantic," said Maryland Governor Larry Hogan. "It was the first step in the exciting, transformative vision for this site, which holds such an important place in the history of our state and its economy. Today, we are seeing that vision take shape as we celebrate the official opening of FedEx Ground's new state-of-the-art distribution facility."
