FedEx has announced plans to significantly boost its operations in the US state of Ohio, with its current facility in Toledo being replaced with a modern distribution centre in Perrysburg Township.
The company has already selected a 127-acre site for the project, which is estimated to cost US$87 million, including land, construction and material handling equipment.
Site work on the 400,000 square foot facility is expected to begin immediately. When it opens in 2009, the new hub will feature the latest automated material handling technology designed to initially process 22,500 packages per hour and 45,000 packages per hour when it eventually reaches full capacity after a projected expansion. |
