UPS Express Critical Service Launches In Europe
May 10 2017 - 9:30AM
UPS Express Critical® service launched in Europe for urgent,
time-critical shipments that require special handling such as
aircraft parts or surgical tools. Such services are vital to the
healthcare, manufacturing and aerospace sectors when speed of
delivery matters most.
A UPS team assesses the shipping request through a
round-the-clock contact center, identifies transportation
alternatives and implements a delivery solution that meets time and
cost requirements. UPS Express Critical options include air,
charter, surface and a personal courier who can carry the shipment
by hand from origin to destination on a commercial flight. As a
global leader in time-sensitive shipments, UPS has access to
virtually any kind of aircraft or vehicle around the world.
”Expansion in Europe reflects our continued commitment to
helping customers in a broad range of industries solve even their
most critical logistics and transportation challenges,” said Daniel
Gagnon, Vice President of Global Logistics & Distribution for
UPS in the US. “Industries such as healthcare and aerospace require
highly specialized personnel and customized shipping solutions to
ensure timely delivery.”
In the United States, UPS Express Critical provides a large
array of expedited services for the healthcare and life sciences
industries including the transport of life-enhancing and
life-saving tissue, biological specimen and organs. UPS Express
Critical also partners with aerospace and manufacturing
clients to ensure the timely delivery of parts that keep engines
running, planes flying and production lines moving.
”With the launch of UPS Express Critical service, our customers
in Europe can now quickly find a way to get their critical
shipments to their destination, balancing speed and cost,” said
Boris Dobberstein, Vice President Logistics & Distribution for
UPS in Europe, Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East.
“For many of our customers, speed to market determines how
successfully they can reach customers and grow their business.”
To get critical shipments to their destination on time, UPS
Express Critical® will utilize the following services in
Europe:
- Air charter management, including massive cargo planes for
oversized shipments
- Door-to-door service for nearly any size shipment
- End-of-runway intercept service: the shipment is picked up at
the end of the runway to speed up transport to the final
destination
- Specialized vehicles with door-to-door ground transportation
within Europe
- Increased security and insurance services through UPS
Capital
Keeping customers informed of shipping milestones affects their
ability to react and make decisions quickly. Customers can
also manage their supply chain visibility through a dedicated
shipping team, a 24/7/365 call center, transportation dashboards,
customizable reports and alerts, shipment document imaging and
shipment arrival forecasting.
