Logistic service provider UPS opened an automated package sorting and delivery facility in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The hub facilitates cross-border trade while it enhances package delivery service for small and large businesses. The new hub is 27,000m2 and is equipped with advanced automation technology.

Nando Cesarone, president at UPS International: “Superhubs like this are game changers and drive our European transborder connectivity, especially in the tech corridor where Eindhoven is located. It is the fastest growing part of the Netherlands where speed and reliability count. The facility provides fast and efficient connections to UPS’s smart global logistics network, which moves 3% of the world’s GDP every day.”
