What is new: At UPS, we are making improvements to our speed and capabilities in the Asia Pacific region. In fact, we have committed over $250 million since 2023 – upgrading our express, supply chain and healthcare logistics services, as well as expanding operations at Clark International Airport in the Philippines.
Why it matters: The Asia Pacific is home to many of the fastest-growing global economies. By making improvements to our customer experience there, we are making progress on our journey to establishing UPS as the No.1 complex healthcare logistics provider and premium logistics orchestrator in the world.
‘We have been in our Philippines hub for more than 25 years, helping connect businesses to markets in Asia Pacific and beyond’, said Wilfredo Ramos, president, UPS Asia Pacific. ‘The investments will enhance time in transit and position UPS for long term growth.’
We are also growing our healthcare business in the region, introducing UPS Premier in nine markets across Asia Pacific. This service provides priority handling for time- and temperature-sensitive, patient-critical products.
In 2023, we added over 22,000 square metres of cold chain-enabled handling, storage and distribution space with new healthcare facilities in Singapore and Australia. An additional 12,000 square metres is planned for 2024.
