UPS Expands Four North American Distribution Facilities
December 15 2014 - 11:00AM
UPS® (NYSE:UPS) today announced the addition of three buildings and
the expansion of another in four North American locations, boosting
its supply chain solutions network size by nearly 1.2 million sq.
ft. Rapid growth of customers in the high-tech, industrial
manufacturing and retail industries fueled the demand for new or
expanded facilities in Mira Loma, California; Hebron, Kentucky;
Louisville, Kentucky; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
This marks the second time in 2014 that both the Mira Loma and
Hebron campuses increased in size.
"These investments are needed to not only support our existing
customers and their growth but to also create capacity to support
our new business expansion," said Stephen Hydrick, UPS vice
president of North American distribution. "As our customers grow,
we will continue to find and invest in solutions."
UPS's global supply chain solutions network includes 596
facilities and nearly 32.8 million sq. ft. Services and
capabilities offered at UPS supply chain facilities include:
warehousing and fulfillment; inventory, transportation and returns
management; custom kitting and packaging; and store-ready displays.
These modern facilities are critical for customers as 99 percent of
the U.S. population is within a two-day time-in-transit of
inventory.
