UPS Brazil celebrates first successful year of operations at Campinas distribution centre
UPS Brazil has announced that it has completed a successful first year of operations at its newest domestic distribution centre in Campinas, São Paulo state.
Located near Viracopos/Campinas International Airport, the 480 square metre cargo storage and distribution centre was created to serve the increasing domestic demand for shipping services, specifically for customers in the industrial manufacturing, healthcare, and high-tech industries.
“This new facility is part of our domestic expansion strategy to support the growth of our customers. Its strategic proximity to Viracopos/Campinas International Airport, one of the country’s main cargo hubs, and other major highways, have allowed faster handling and time-in-transit, processing 500 shipments per day,” said Daniel Souza, operations and customs clearance manager for UPS Brazil.
“Additionally, we’re better able to serve our entire domestic territory, reaching 5,000 cities throughout Brazil. As part of our global smart logistics network, we’re offering eight weekly flights for international service between Viracopos to Miami, FL, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.”
Inaugurated in April 2017, the new hub increased UPS’s daily volume capacity by 17% as it now serves as a location to consolidate the company’s express shipments and supply chain solutions divisions.
