MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FedEx Logistics, Inc., a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), has announced the renaming of Manton Air-Sea Pty Ltd, a freight forwarding and 3PL company it acquired in October 2018, as FedEx Logistics (Australia) Pty Ltd.
FedEx Logistics Australia, which is headquartered in Sydney and has locations in Melbourne and Brisbane, offers the entire suite of FedEx Logistics specialty global logistics solutions. The newly renamed company gives customers access to key trade lanes, allowing them to both build their supply chains within Australia and connect to vital consumer markets throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.

FedEx Logistics Australia brings a number of notable differentiators to market, including its status as one of the country’s first accredited Australia Trusted Traders, a designation by the Australian Border Force that gives program participants access to a range of benefits that simplify their customs processes and increase speed-to-market.
As part of the FedEx portfolio, FedEx Logistics Australia also collaborates extensively with the broader FedEx enterprise in the region, including FedEx Express, giving customers the added benefit of direct connection to transportation networks that operate in more than 220 countries and territories around the world and connect more than 99 percent of the world’s GDP.

Smith, President and CEO of FedEx Logistics. “We at FedEx Logistics are proud to join our colleagues from FedEx Express and TNT — a FedEx company founded in Australia — in providing our customers a world class portfolio of domestic and international freight, parcel and logistics solutions.
