Fedex opens new facility at Shanghai Pudong airport for healthcare industry
FEDEX Express has officially opened its new international express and cargo hub at Shanghai Pudong International Airport to connect customers in eastern China to overseas markets, particularly those shipping to the US and Europe.
The 134,000-square-metre hub is the largest of its kind at that airport. The new facility applies cutting-edge technologies to enhance the operations of its customer care centre and cold chain facilities to serve the healthcare industry, one of the fastest growing sectors in Asia Pacific.
The cold chain centre is equipped with temperature controlled storage ranging from minus 22 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius and offers cold chain logistics solutions tailored to different healthcare products such as medicines, semi-finished medicines and pharmaceuticals.
"The Asia Pacific region remains the growth driver of the world," said FedEx Express CEO David Cunningham.
FedEx currently operates 66 weekly flights in and out of the hub. With a fully automated sorting system, the new facility can process up to 36,000 packages and documents per hour. The facility utilises information technology to send real-time information, including flight and shipment status to customers' mobile devices so they can arrange pick-ups accordingly and reduce logistics cost.
With dedicated areas for China customs and China entry-exit inspection and quarantine (CIQ), the hub simplifies operations and improves the customs clearance process, the company said.
