Flexport expands into the UK and Canada

Article excerpt

Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

Freight forwarder Flexport has expanded its fulfilment network outside of the USA, launching services from facilities in Manchester, UK and Mississauga, Canada. The expansion allows customers to hold inventory and fulfil orders domestically in the two markets while using Flexport for international freight, customs clearance and delivery. In the UK, Flexport will operate from two partner-run facilities in Manchester, both equipped with AutoStore automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), which use robots to retrieve inventory from high-density storage grids. The Canadian facility is located in Mississauga, near Toronto Pearson International Airport, and holds Health Canada certifications covering medical products, supplements and consumer goods. Inbound receiving began in July, with the first outbound orders due to ship in September. Flexport said its international expansion is aimed at brands already selling into Canada and the UK but serving customers from warehouses in other countries. Orders and returns can now be handled domestically in each market. The company added that it plans to expand its fulfilment network into continental Europe in 2027, where it already provides freight and customs services.
