UPS said it is expanding its global healthcare distribution network in the Asia-Pacific region by opening three facilities in China’s Hangzhou and Shanghai, and Sydney, Australia.
The new facilities bring the total number of UPS dedicated healthcare facilities to 36 worldwide, encompassing more than 500,000 square meters of space. They are part of UPS’s strategy to invest in its global healthcare network to meet the growing needs of customers.
Driven by trends of increased globalization and growing healthcare consumption in emerging markets, the new facilities, together with UPS’s existing healthcare facility in Singapore, which opened in 2011, serve both multinational and regional healthcare manufacturers’ distribution needs across the Asia-Pacific region, the company said.
