UPS completes expansion of European air hub

Posted by | Jan 30, 2006 | |

After two and half years of construction, UPS has opened a greatly expanded, more automated package sorting hub in Europe that will accommodate the shipping needs of its growing customer base for years to come. The expanded facility, located at the Cologne/Bonn Airport, almost doubles the original hub’s sorting capacity to 110,000 packages per hour, or more than 30 packages per second. Much of that increase in speed has been accomplished through the deployment of new automation technology, making the hub the most advanced as well as the largest facility of its type in Europe. “UPS continues to experience strong growth in Europe and this facility will ensure we are able to provide our customers with reliable, global distribution solutions,” said Wolfgang Flick, president, UPS Europe. “The investment is part of a long-term strategy to help customers compete and succeed in the key trading lanes within Europe and linking Europe to North America and Asia.”

UPS launches Mail Logic, an international mail service

Posted by | Jan 27, 2006 | |

Today UPS announces the launch of UPS Mail LogicSM, a new international mail service that allows customers to streamline their mail operations by relying on UPS’s package delivery expertise. With UPS Mail Logic, businesses can simply gather their international letters, flats or packets into one parcel – no sorting by destination, metering or stamping necessary. Customers arrange for UPS pick-up along with any other small packages ready for delivery. UPS then transports the international mail to well-respected postal service entities that sort and ship the mail to the destination postal authority or other licensed party for final delivery. The launch follows a successful Mail Logic pilot programme initiated in the UK in January 2005. The success of the seven month programme, which was made available to businesses of all sizes, has prompted UPS to roll out the new service first to The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France, with additional European markets to follow.

Posted by | Jan 13, 2006 | |

A spokesman for Deutsche Post World Net said the company isn’t concerned by the prospect of UPS offering some letter-delivery services in Germany later this year. “We’re watching closely and taking it seriously, but we’re not that concerned, ” Deutsche Post spokesman Uwe Bensien told Dow Jones. On Wednesday, US-based UPS announced it would offer limited letter delivery to customers in Germany and some other European countries, starting in February. Bensien said mail is Deutsche Post’s key business, while it isn’t the core business of UPS, an express package specialist. “We’re set up for this and have the network and know-how,” he said.
