express industry and a key part of FedEx international growth and
profitability," said Michael L. Ducker, president International, FedEx
Express. "Our established presence in Mexico throughout the past 17
years has provided Mexican businesses with unmatched access to the
global economy. Now, with FedEx Express Nacional, customers also have
world class domestic express solutions to reliably ship within the
