CMA CGM completes $1.4 billion acquisition of FedEx Supply Chain
CMA CGM finalized the purchase of FedEx Supply Chain for an enterprise value of $1.4 billion, integrating the business into its CEVA Logistics subsidiary. The deal adds roughly 34 million square feet of warehouse space and nearly 10,000 employees, tripling CEVA’s North American contract‑logistics footprint. FedEx will focus on its core transportation services and entered a multiyear ocean‑ and air‑freight agreement with CMA CGM. The transaction was confirmed on 1 October 2026.
Why it matters
The acquisition expands CMA CGM’s North American logistics capacity, giving it about 150 warehouses and a larger workforce, which could improve its competitive position in high‑value verticals. FedEx’s divestiture simplifies its portfolio, allowing it to concentrate resources on core transportation operations. Both companies expect the new freight agreements to provide greater flexibility and capacity on key routes.
