Oops: 2 billion dollars for faster service and more resilient supply chains

Oops has announced ongoing investments of over 2 billion dollars in the International, Healthcare and Supply Chain Solutions operations.

The investments, launched in 2024 and set to continue until 2028, help companies move faster and address the changing trade routes, regulatory requirements and supply chain uncertainty with greater flexibility and connectivity in key global markets.

New hubs

Projects currently under way include a new hub at Clark Airport in the Philippines, scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026; a new facility in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, scheduled for 2027; and a new air hub at Hong Kong International Airport in 2028. These new facilities add to Ups’s recent investments in healthcare and other strategic segments, including high-tech, automotive and industrial manufacturing.

“Customers need end-to-end logistics solutions capable of meeting their needs for visibility, speed and simplicity,” said Kate Gutmann, Evp and president of Ups International, Healthcare and Supply Chain Solutions. These investments enable us to integrate air, ground, brokerage and distribution into a single solution, with fewer handoffs, greater end-to-end control and less complexity. Together with real-time tracking and proactive monitoring, we can also manage the most temperature-sensitive, time-critical and high-value shipments, whether they travel across the city or to the other side of the world.”

The Ups network

Ups operates one of the largest and most integrated logistics networks in the world and provides end-to-end visibility across multiple transport modes and along supply chains. Recent investments that strengthen its capabilities include:

• 27 cross-dock facilities for temperature-controlled goods, optimised to ensure speed and short-term storage during transfers between air and ground transport, while maintaining specific temperature requirements.
• A technologically advanced logistics centre in Taiwan and the expansion of the air hub in Incheon, South Korea, equipped with advanced automation systems that significantly accelerate processes.
• An Ups Supply Chain Solutions facility in Amsterdam that brings freight, brokerage and cold chain solutions together under one roof.
• Increased capacity and speed of our intra-Asia air network, designed for the future and supported by strong regional demand and growth in sectors such as healthcare, technology, industrial manufacturing and automotive.
• Flights five times a week between Paris and Hong Kong and between Shenzhen and Sydney, to increase capacity and meet growing demand.
