New UPS facility in Arkansas to accomodate future growth (U.S)
UPS announced it is opening a new 48,000-square-foot package sorting and delivery facility in Springdale, doubling the capacity of its older building. The new USD 12.5 million facility spans 13 acres.
“The new Springdale building will allow UPS to process more package volume in less time, which will definitely benefit our customers,” said James B. Smith, UPS vice president, Mid South District. “Northwest Arkansas is the fastest growing region in the state and the sixth fastest in the nation, so we wanted to make sure UPS was positioned to serve this rapidly developing area efficiently.”
The facility at 371 N. Monitor Road replaces a former UPS building located at 419 East Robinson. The new building can accommodate up to 108 delivery trucks and can sort up to 8,000 packages per hour. The old building could service up to 78 delivery trucks and sorted about 4,000 packages per hour. The new facility also features a modern UPS customer counter inside to handle any customer shipping needs.
