UPS completes supersizing Louisville package operations


UPS has completed the multi-phase expansion of its Louisville Centennial ground package sortation and distribution facility in Kentucky (USA).

 

“Tripling the size of our centennial hub provides companies with distribution centres and operations in Kentucky and the surrounding areas with more opportunities to better serve their customers,” said Joe Boyle, president of UPS’s Ohio Valley district.

 

Now covering more than 19 football fields, the expanded facility can process approximately 85,000 packages per hour via nearly 40 km of conveyors using highly automated processing equipment. Six-sided laser label decode tunnels will rapidly capture package information from address labels.

 

The Louisville super hub’s strategic proximity to UPS’s Worldport air hub at Louisville international airport supports end-of-runway express services like UPS next day air and UPS e-fulfilment that many e-commerce companies demand. (mw)
