The new site reinforces the Philippines’ role as a key gateway within gne logistics company’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) network.
Recently, the Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) broke ground groundbreaking of the expansion of its Clark gateway facility in Pampanga.
Once completed, the modernized facility will span over 78,000 square meters and feature upgraded handling and operational capabilities designed to enhance shipment flow reliability and service flexibility for customers.
This expansion will allow the site to further strengthen the company’s ability to support express, e-commerce, and freight shipments, while bolstering overall network resilience as cross-border trade continues to grow across the region.
Furthermore, it reinforces the Philippines’ role as a key trans-shipment gateway within the FedEx’s network in APAC, which then enhances the company’s ability to connect customers to global markets.
Its construction is also part of the broader strategy to strengthen network reliability, enhance service experience for customers and position the company to support long-term growth across the region.
Construction will start in the second quarter of 2026, with Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) alread engaged as the developer.
The facility will have sustainability features, as it is being made to be energy efficient and reduce its environmental impact by utimziing insulated building materials, energy-efficient glazing, a high-performance roofing system, LED lighting, and skylights.
There will also be electric vehicle charging stations, water-efficient fixtures, a rainwater collection system, and power-optimization equipment, with provisions for future solar power deployment.
Masamichi Ujiie, president of FedEx North Pacific and South Pacific, said: “The expansion of our Clark gateway reflects our continued commitment to the Philippines and to building a smarter, more resilient network across the region.”
He added, “By enhancing our operational capabilities at Clark, we are better positioned to support Philippine businesses, enable efficient cross-border trade, and provide more reliable connectivity to global markets.”
This development builds on the company’s growth in the Philippines following the opening of its Clark gateway in October 2021 and the signing of a land lease agreement with Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) in July 2024.
Meanwhile, Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Frederick Go said, “The expansion of FedEx will deepen global connectivity and strengthen local trade capabilities. Filipino firms and consumers can reach more markets while more foreign traders can reach ours. As the Asia-Pacific region grows, the Philippines will be better positioned to ride on this momentum and drive our economic growth.”
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Cristina Roque, Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) President and CEO Joshua Bingcang, Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) President and CEO Noel Manankil, Clark Development Corporation (CDC) President and CEO Agnes Devanadera, and Robinsons Land Corporation President and CEO Mybelle Aragon-GoBio.
