FedEx Corporation was originally known as Federal Express Corporation. This name was used when the company was first established before it evolved into the globally recognized brand it is today.
The Evolution from Federal Express to FedEx
Initially, the company, founded in Memphis, Tennessee, specialized in air cargo and express delivery services. Over time, "FedEx" became a widely used abbreviation by customers and employees alike. Recognizing this strong brand recognition, the company officially rebranded to FedEx Corporation to unify its various service offerings under a single, cohesive brand identity.
- Original Name: Federal Express Corporation
- Current Name: FedEx Corporation
- Headquarters: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
- Core Business: Specializing in transportation, e-commerce, and business services.
This strategic name change reflected the company's expansion beyond just express shipping to a broader portfolio of services, including ground shipping, freight, office services, and supply chain solutions. The shift to "FedEx" leveraged the established reputation and allowed for easier global recognition and marketability.
