UPS® has opened a new contract logistics facility in the Midlands, to meet growing demand from retail and high-tech customers. The move adds nearly 13,000 m2
of warehousing space to UPS’s global supply chain network. The new
facility is in close proximity to the existing package sorting hub at
Birch Coppice Business Park, and provides access to the company’s global
network via the UPS hub at East Midlands Airport. The site was opened
in the presence of local MP Craig Tracey, marking UPS’s continued
investment in the area.
“We
continue to expand our contract logistics reach and capabilities in the
UK and Europe to serve the growing demands of our business-to-business
and business-to-consumer customers,” said Derek Irving, director, UPS
Contract Logistics UK. “This facility investment demonstrates our
continued commitment to supplying our customers in the UK with solutions
that allow their businesses to be more competitive and reach global
markets.”
In
addition to its network of package sorting facilities, UPS now has more
than 500 supply chain facilities in over 120 countries, now totaling
more than 3 million m2 globally. Services
and capabilities offered at these locations include: warehousing and
order fulfillment; inventory, transportation and returns management;
custom kitting and packaging; store-ready displays; critical parts
repair; and same-day delivery.
