FedEx has opened a new 4,900-square-meter facility in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) in Laem Chabang, Chonburi, Thailand. This expansion will support the growing demand for local exporters and importers in the EEC region.
The state-of-the-art facility is nearly four times the size of the previous one and features advanced material handling and sortation technology, capable of sorting up to 3,000 packages per hour. It also includes a 4,560-square-meter warehouse that supports multi-modal freight solutions, including customized air, ocean, and land services, in collaboration with FedEx Logistics.
“FedEx is committed to empowering local businesses, and this expanded Laem Chabang facility marks a significant milestone in our continuous efforts to provide greater access for customers and, at the same time, support Thailand’s economic growth,” said Sasathorn Phaspinyo, managing director of FedEx Thailand.
Enhanced Services and Capabilities
The facility offers a comprehensive range of services for heavy-weight freight shippers, including:
- Dedicated vehicle for pick-up and delivery
- Single wooden crating and crating services
- Fumigation service
- Palletization
- On-dock support
- One-stop-shop dangerous goods service
- Other special handling services
For added convenience, FedEx has extended its shipment preparation times to 4:00 PM for export shipments from key industrial areas, including Chachoengsao, Chonburi, and Rayong.
Strategic Location
Strategically located in the heart of the EEC at the Pinthong Logistics Park, the new FedEx facility offers convenient access to key industrial areas and facilitates door-to-door parcel and freight pick-up and delivery services across the region.
Supporting Thailand’s Economic Growth
“The expansion of the FedEx facility in Chonburi marks a significant step toward achieving Thailand’s vision of becoming ASEAN’s premier logistics hub,” said Dr. Chula Sukmanop, Secretary-General of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Office.
The new facility will contribute to economic growth and development in the EEC, which accounts for 15.5% of Thailand’s GDP. This investment aligns with Thailand’s EEC Development Plan and Thailand 4.0 economic strategy, which aim to transform the eastern region of Thailand into a hub for high-tech industries and accelerate economic growth.
