UPS To Open Advanced Technology Package Center in Compton, CA
September 21 2016 - 9:00AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced plans for a new package center in
Compton, CA. The building, located in a former brick factory site
redevelopment project, is being modified to dispatch more than 300
delivery vehicles and add 50 full-time equivalent jobs when
operational in late 2017.
“UPS continues to see commercial and residential growth in and
around the greater Los Angeles area” said Tom Cuce, president of
the UPS Southern California District. “Expanding in Compton puts
the UPS delivery fleet closer to this growing demand, enhances our
processing capability, and drives improved efficiency and service
for our customers throughout the area.”
The 521,000 square-foot building will serve UPS customers in Los
Angeles and Orange counties. With proximity to multiple airports,
port and rail connections, the location is well positioned to
support the growing flow of e-commerce in Southern California.
State-of-the-art package sorting equipment combined with other
UPS automation technology will be integrated into the new building.
The increased accuracy and efficiency gained with this technology
will enable UPS flexibility to balance volume surges or other
demand changes.
The new site will join 32 UPS package delivery buildings
currently serving the Southern California area with more than
19,400 employees.
