CMA CGM Group has agreed to acquire Metro Supply Chain Group, the contract logistics arm of FedEx, for $1.4 billion.

The deal is part of CMA CGM's strategy to strengthen its logistics capabilities and commitment to investing in the United States supply chain. Concurrently, CMA CGM and FedEx will enter into multi-year commercial agreements for air and ocean freight, with CMA CGM becoming a preferred ocean carrier for FedEx. FedEx is divesting Metro Supply Chain Group to streamline its portfolio and focus on high-value verticals such as healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and data centers, following its recent spin-off of FedEx_Freight>>>.
