UPS enhances European network

UPS has announced enhancements to its ground network which it says will improve trade opportunities for customers from six countries in the European Union (EU) to Switzerland. According to UPS: “Customers in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland and Sweden can now benefit from a faster, cost-effective UPS Standard service improvement of up to two days when shipping to 60% of the population of Switzerland, including the areas around Basel and Zürich.”

Nando Cesarone, President, UPS Europe, commented: “With this enhancement, we have now improved our transit times from 22 countries across Europe for our most economical service.

“UPS has committed to invest $2 billion into its European network and infrastructure by 2019. These network upgrades are part of that investment which helps our customers to export their products in a more efficient way.”
