UPS investing in healthcare segment
Logistics provider UPS has opened a new location for healthcare products in Giessen. It is the first UPS branch in Germany to specialise in such products.
The new hub has a GMP- and GDP-compliant certified area of 27,200 sqm and also offers a modern track-and-trace system, which enables precise shipment tracking and monitoring of environmental conditions during transport.
The system allows sensitive shipments to be prioritised and located and tracked with an accuracy of 3 m anywhere in the UPS global network. UPS Healthcare invested in more than 36,000 sqm of cold chain storage and freezer capacity worldwide in 2021.
Some of these warehouses are located in newly opened and upgraded healthcare facilities in Poland, Czechia, the Netherlands and Italy. They complement existing healthcare storage capacity in 30 countries, UPS said. (ben)
