We look forward to starting the integration process.”
Genco will operate as a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. and continue to be led by CEO Todd Peters. Its financials will be reported within the FedEx Ground business segment.
FedEx Corp. ranks No. 2 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
