UPS opening new Colorado facility
UPS is building a new 360,000 square foot package distribution facility in Aurora, Colorado.
In a statement published yesterday (31 October), UPS said that a “portion” of the building, which is located just east of Denver, is expected to begin operating this year in time for the busy holiday shipping season.
“The Aurora facility is part of the strategic investments UPS is making to better service our customers and enhance its efficiency and processing capability,” said Kenneth Cherry, president of the UPS Desert Mountain district that includes Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.
The UPS statement added: “The $90 million project joins a multi-year investment plan to expand and modernize UPS’s global logistics network. From early 2016 through September 2017, UPS announced plans to construct nine new U.S. facilities that will add more than 6.2 million square feet of facility space for increasing package processing capacity.”
