New superhub in Eindhoven
UPS has officially opened a new automated package sorting and delivery facility in Eindhoven (the Netherlands), which facilitates cross-border trade while enhancing package delivery services for small and large businesses.
The 27,000 sqm superhub – approximately five football fields in size – is equipped with advanced technology that can sort up to 29,000 packages per hour, with the potential to expand to 40,000 per hour. The new EUR 130 million facility is a part of the company’s multi-year, USD 2 billion European investment plan, which aims to modernise and expand the UPS network across the continent.
Over the past four year, time savings of up to one day for deliveries from the Netherlands to 25 European countries have made further contributions to UPS’s ever-increasing cross-border connectivity in Europe. (mw)
