Logistics giant UPS is investing more than $2bn to give its customers faster service, more control and a more resilient global supply chain.

The investments will be across Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas to help businesses navigate changing trade routes and regulations.

Using real-time tracking and proactive monitoring, UPS aims to handle even the most temperature-sensitive, time-critical and high-value shipments.

The investments, which began in 2024 and will continue until 2028, should help businesses move faster and navigate shifting trade routes, evolving regulations and supply chain uncertainty with greater flexibility and connectivity across key global markets.

Projects underway include a hub at Clark Airport in the Philippines expected to open later this year, a Canadian facility in Barrie, Ontario, to open next year, and an air hub at Hong Kong International Airport scheduled for 2028. These facilities are part of UPS’s recent investments in healthcare and other market segments, including high-tech, automotive and industrial manufacturing.

“Customers need end-to-end logistics that match their requirements for visibility, speed and ease,” said Kate Gutmann, UPS executive vice president. “These investments allow us to bring air, ground, brokerage and distribution together, with fewer handoffs, more end-to-end control and less complexity. Combined with real-time tracking and proactive monitoring, we can handle even the most temperature-sensitive, time-critical and high-value shipments, whether across town or around the world.”

Recent investments enhancing those capabilities include 27 temperature-controlled freight cross-dock facilities optimised for speed and short-term storage between air and ground movements, all while maintaining specific temperature requirements.

UPS’s global network is designed to offer seamless visibility and control of logistics, with services including end-to-end cold-chain capabilities that ensure critical treatments are delivered safely and reliably to patients around the world. It claims to have the fastest integrated ground network in Europe covering every address on the continent, with Saturday delivery in eight markets. The company also has one of the broadest Asia-Pacific networks of IATA CEIV pharma-certified facilities for moving high-value, time-sensitive shipments with greater visibility and control.

Whether businesses are entering new markets, rebalancing supply chains or looking for more predictable service, UPS says it makes cross-border shipping easier to manage and less vulnerable to disruption.
