UPS said it will invest more than $2 billion through 2028 to improve its operations across key global markets, as the logistics company seeks to help businesses move faster along shifting trade routes.

As part of this investment, UPS will establish three new logistics hubs in the Philippines, Canada and Hong Kong.

The hub in the Philippines will open in the last quarter of the year, while Canada and Hong Kong are being eyed for 2026 and 2027, respectively. These new facilities are part of a string of recent investments in strategic market segments such as healthcare, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.

"Customers need end-to-end logistics that match their requirements for visibility, speed and ease," said Kate Gutmann, UPS executive vice president and president of international, healthcare and supply chain solutions. "These investments allow us to bring air, ground, brokerage and distribution together in one solution, with fewer handoffs, more end-to-end control and less complexity."

The expansion comes at a time when uncertainties around trade policies have significant implications for the global exchange of goods and services, which could ultimately raise and pass costs on to the consumer. Last year, UPS cut approximately 34,000 positions from its operational workforce, as well as 14,000 management jobs.

Other recent investments include 27 temperature-controlled freight cross-dock facilities that are optimized for speed and short-term storage between air and ground movements; a logistics center in Taiwan; and an expanded hub in South Korea that features advanced automation to turbocharge processing speeds. UPS said it also has a UPS Supply Chain Solutions facility in Amsterdam that brings freight, brokerage and cold-chain solutions under one roof.

"Combined with real-time tracking and proactive monitoring, we can handle even the most temperature-sensitive, time-critical and high-value shipments…whether across town or around the world," Gutmann said.

UPS said there is strong regional demand and high-growth sectors like healthcare, technology and automotive, which prompted them to add capacity and speed enhancements to its intra-Asia air network. To boost capacity and meet demand, UPS said its flights run five times a week between Paris and Hong Kong and Shenzhen and Sydney.

Clients are benefiting from the company's investments.

"UPS didn't just help us move products. They helped us navigate the challenges that came with growth by bringing transportation, brokerage and trade expertise together," Adam Liu, chief supply chain officer at Anker.

 "As we expanded our manufacturing footprint, we were dealing with new trade requirements, new markets and a lot more complexity. UPS gave us confidence that we could keep moving forward while managing risk along the way."
