UPS opens automated sorting hub

The facility in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, is designed to help facilitate cross-border trade.

The 27,000 square metre hub can sort up to 29,000 packages per hour, with the potential to expand to 40,000 per hour.

“Superhubs like this one are game changers and drive our European transborder connectivity, especially in the tech corridor where Eindhoven sits, the fastest growing part of the country where speed and reliability count,” said Nando Cesarone, president, UPS International.

Eindhoven is strategically located in a region whose key industries include high tech and healthcare. The facility is a transit hub for goods traveling through the region and helps ensure the fast and reliable flow of goods between Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK.

The €130 million facility is a part of the company’s multi-year, $2 billion European investment plan, which aims to modernise and expand the UPS network across the continent.
