Achievements FedEx Express started life in 1973 as the brainchild of its founder Frederick W. Smith, CEO of FedEx Corp. Over the years it has amassed a long list of ‘firsts’. FedEx Express originated the overnight letter, was the first express transportation company dedicated to overnight package delivery, and the first to offer next-day delivery by 10.30am. It was also the first express company to offer a time-definite service for freight and the first in the industry to offer money-back guarantees and free proof of delivery. In 1983 Federal Express (as it was then known) made business history as the first US company to reach the US $1bn revenue landmark inside 10 years of start-up, unaided by mergers or acquisitions. In 1994 FedEx Express received ISO 9001 certification for all its worldwide operations, making it the first global express transportation company to receive simultaneous system-wide certification. This accreditation is still valid today. In January 2019, for the 19th consecutive year, FedEx was once again ranked among the most admired companies in the world, according to a survey published in FORTUNE magazine. Recent Developments Further to the FedEx acquisition of TNT in 2016, FedEx Express and TNT are now making good progress in coming together to offer new opportunities, a better service and stronger support. Integrating the world’s largest air express network and an unparalleled European road network will take time, but significant progress has already been made.
