Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has officially broken ground on the expansion of its Clark gateway facility, marking a major milestone in reinforcing the Philippines’ position as a key trans-shipment hub within the FedEx Asia Pacific network. The project aims to enhance connectivity for Filipino businesses and customers to global markets, the company said in a statement.
Once complete, the modernized facility will cover more than 78,000 square meters, featuring upgraded handling systems and operational capabilities to improve shipment reliability and service flexibility. The expansion will boost FedEx’s capacity to support express, e-commerce, and freight shipments, while strengthening network resilience amid rising cross-border trade across the region.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by top Philippine government officials, including Finance Secretary Frederick Go and Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina Roque, underscoring the vital role of logistics infrastructure in driving trade, investment, and economic growth. Also present were Joshua Bingcang, President and CEO of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority; Noel Manankil, President and CEO of Luzon International Premiere Airport Development; Atty Agnes Devanadera, President and CEO of Clark Development Corporation (CDC); and Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio, President and CEO of Robinsons Land Corporation.
“The expansion of our Clark gateway reflects our continued commitment to the Philippines and to building a smarter, more resilient network across the region,” said Masamichi Ujiie, President of FedEx North Pacific and South Pacific. “By enhancing our operational capabilities at Clark, we are better positioned to support Philippine businesses and enable efficient cross-border trade.”
Secretary Go added, “FedEx’s expansion deepens global connectivity and strengthens local trade capabilities. Filipino firms and consumers can reach more markets, while foreign traders can access ours. As the Asia-Pacific region grows, the Philippines will be well-positioned to ride this momentum and drive economic progress.”
This development builds on FedEx’s growing presence in the Philippines, following the opening of its Clark gateway in October 2021 and the land lease agreement with LIPAD signed in July 2024. Construction is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with Robinsons Land Corporation serving as the project developer.
The facility’s design integrates sustainability features to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact, including insulated materials, energy-efficient glazing, high-performance roofing, LED lighting, skylights, EV charging stations, water-saving fixtures, a rainwater collection system, and provisions for future solar power installation.
This latest investment aligns with FedEx’s broader strategy to enhance network reliability, elevate customer experience, and support long-term growth across the Asia Pacific region.
