Frankfurt – November 10, 2026 -- FedEx has opened a road hub in Alzenau, Lower Franconia, with about 15,500 square meters of warehouse space and 85 new jobs, lifting its German road hub count to four.
Alzenau hub adds 32 loading doors and 50 trailer bays
The facility sits in the Süd B30 industrial area. FedEx fitted an existing property with additional sorting technology. The site will mainly handle freight and bulk consignments, and it also processes oversized items and parcels.
Alzenau lies in the Rhine-Main region, east of Frankfurt, with direct access to the A3 and A45 motorways. FedEx says the location, close to its existing sites, makes it a key node for national and international traffic.
Opening is timed to the year-end volume surge
The hub went live ahead of the year-end season, which brings higher volumes and global trading events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Boris Stoffer, Managing Director Network Operations Germany, said the opening reflects FedEx's commitment to supporting customer growth in Germany and Europe, with better connectivity, flexibility and reliability for businesses.
Germany network now spans four road hubs, about 40 local sites and seven air locations
The other German road hubs are in Hanover, Nuremberg and Wiesbaden. All connect to the FedEx European road network, which links 700 locations and the company's air hubs across 45 countries.
FedEx also runs about 40 sites in Germany for local parcel and freight pickup and delivery. Its seven German air freight locations are Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, Berlin, Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Hanover. Cologne is the largest, with more than 900 employees.
FedEx targets B2B shippers and high-value e-commerce
Stefan Dries, Vice President Ground Operations for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Benelux, said the integrated air and road network, customs expertise and service range from parcels to freight let FedEx serve B2B customers, including healthcare and automotive, as well as high-value B2C e-commerce. FedEx offers both express and economy options for domestic and international shipments.
FedEx describes the Alzenau investment as part of ongoing network optimization in Europe, alongside spending on infrastructure and digitalization.
