FedEx is laying off 856 employees in Coppell, Texas, as it prepares to close a logistics facility by April after a major customer shifted its operations to another supplier, according to a filing with the Texas Workforce Commission on Wednesday.
The layoffs will take place in phases starting in January.
“This action is necessitated solely by our client’s decision to move its operations to a new location to be managed by a new third-party logistics service provider,” the company wrote in its notice. “The shutdown of the Coppell facility by FedEx Supply Chain Logistics & Electronics, Inc. is expected to be permanent and to be completed by April 29, 2026.”
Coppell is located about 21 miles northwest of downtown Dallas.
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) provides clients and companies worldwide with a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services.
FedEx said employees were notified in advance and that some workers may be eligible for other roles within the company. The company added that it will provide “recruitment assistance, relocation assistance or severance, as applicable.”
The cuts at Coppell follow other recent job cuts at FedEx in North Texas, including 305 layoffs at the Fort Worth facility announced in May and 131 layoffs at the Garland and Plano locations announced in June.
Logistics and manufacturing employers across the country have been hit by a wave of job cuts in recent months, under pressure from the Trump administration’s trade policies, plant closings, a slowing electric vehicle market and shifting consumer demand that continues to weigh on global supply chains.
