FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and the world’s largest express transportation company, today officially launched its new Johor Station, a one-stop logistics facility aimed to enhance connectivity of southern Malaysia region to the world.

　　The warehouse, measuring 2,676 square meters (28,808 square feet), is an integrated warehouse and sorting facility that is more than twice the size of the previous station. Equipped with advanced telescopic conveyor belts and sorting systems, the facility is capable of handling up to 1,100 packages per hour.

　　The Johor Station will be supported by 51 vehicles (including vans and 40-footer trucks) travelling through over 43 routes in Johor Bahru, Batu Pahat and Kluang. The facility will also be manned by 90 team members focused on facilitating international priority and economy shipments, high-value freight and dangerous goods including electronics and manufactured components for various industries such as automotive and marine.

　　In line with FedEx commitment to provide global connections while minimizing environmental impact, solar panels that generate up to 2,100 kWh and saving 15 to 18% in energy consumption per month have been installed in the facility to help reduce the station’s dependency on traditional power sources. The facility is also equipped with a rainwater harvesting system for vehicle washing, further optimizing water utilization.

　　The FedEx Johor station is located in Iskandar Malaysia, one of the key economic growth corridors of the country. The state of Johor alone has attracted RM93 billion in investments in the manufacturing sector, the highest generated in the country from 2013 to 2016, while the corridor is expected to attract investments up to RM383 billion upon reaching maturity in 2025.[1]
