On June 17, 2020, FedEx Express marked its entry into East Africa by establishing a presence in Kenya. The global transportation company has set up its new offices in Nairobi, where it will offer customer service, sales, and account management services directly to Kenyans.
With this expansion, local businesses in Kenya will now be able to connect with over 220 markets globally, leveraging FedEx's extensive international coverage. The company aims to tap into the region's growing middle class and developing African markets, with Kenya at its heart.
According to Jack Muhs, Regional President of the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa (MEISA) region at FedEx Express, 'We see great potential for East Africa. With a rising middle-class and the growing integration of Africa's markets, Kenya remains poised for future growth.'
FedEx is optimistic about Kenya's economic reopening and is positioning itself at the forefront of the reopening of trade. The company is also committed to delivering critical medical supplies as Kenya and the world battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
As an essential-service provider, FedEx is committed to delivering critical supplies to healthcare providers and communities in need, as Kenya and countries around the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, as Muh added.
