On 9 November 2026, FedEx announced the opening of a road hub in Alzenau, in the Süd B30 industrial area of Lower Franconia, Germany. The facility has been established in an existing building and offers approximately 15,500 square metres of warehouse space, 32 loading bays and parking for up to 50 semi-trailers. It will provide employment for around 85 people in the region and is equipped to handle and move parcels, freight and shipments unsuitable for automated sorting systems. Alzenau is located in the Rhine-Main region, east of Frankfurt am Main, with direct access to the A3 and A45 motorways and close to existing FedEx facilities. The hub is expected to become operational in time for the year-end peak season, when Black Friday and Cyber Monday drive up shipping volumes.
Boris Stoffer, head of network operations for FedEx in Germany, explained that the opening is intended to support customer growth in Germany and across Europe, while Alun Cornish, vice-president of network operations for Europe, said the facility would primarily serve customers in the healthcare and automotive sectors, as well as premium e-commerce. With the addition of Alzenau, FedEx now operates four road hubs in Germany, alongside its existing facilities in Hanover, Nuremberg and Wiesbaden. These form part of the group's European network, connecting 700 locations and access points across 45 countries.
On 23 September, the consortium led by FedEx and Advent International announced that its takeover offer for InPost had met all the conditions for completion, after 89.81% of the shares in the Polish parcel locker operator had been tendered by 18 September. The transaction is valued at €7.8 billion, at €15.60 per share. FedEx and Advent each hold a 37% stake in the consortium, while A&R, the company owned by founder Rafał Brzoska, holds 16% and PPF the remaining 10%. InPost, which operates more than 61,000 parcel lockers across nine countries, including Italy, will retain its brand, Polish headquarters and management. The two companies will remain operationally independent, with commercial agreements conducted on arm's-length terms.
