UPS expands global healthcare network with three new facilities

UPS opens new healthcare distribution centres in Asia Pacific Region: Hangzhou, Shanghai and Sydney
 
The logistics enterprise UPS expands its global healthcare distribution network with three new facilities in the Asia Pacific region. In Hangzhou, Shanghai (China) and Sydney (Australia) they opened special facilities at a total space of nearly 35,000 m². The new facilities bring the total number of UPS dedicated healthcare facilities around the globe to 36, encompassing more than 500,000 m² of space. They are part of the company’s strategy to invest in its global healthcare network to meet the growing needs of its global healthcare customers.
 
The new facilities, together with UPS’s existing healthcare facility in Singapore, which opened in 2011, respond to the trends of increased globalisation and growing healthcare consumption in emerging markets. The four facilities are specially designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies.
 
"Asia is our fastest-growing market for healthcare and we are seeing increased activity in the region, especially in China, where a growing demand for acute and chronic care has driven the need for reliable, flexible and compliant supply chains to serve a highly dynamic market," said Bill Hook, vice president, global strategy, UPS Healthcare Logistics. "We are committed to continuing investments in Asia and other parts of the world timed with – and often ahead of – market demand to support our clients‘ growth strategies in key regions."
