UPS looks to Asia, Philippines - Inquirer
A little past 10 p.m., the first of United Parcel Service’s (UPS) Boeings begins its descent into a hub within the airport complex in Cologne, Germany, while the rest of Europe goes to sleep.
It is this hub in Cologne that not only serves as a centerpiece of the international logistics firm’s operations in Europe, but also a gateway to an extended express network serving the entire globe. It is this cohesive display of operations that allows UPS to handle day by day 2 percent of the world’s gross domestic product, or about 190,000 packages per hour, while half of the world is awake and the other half is asleep.
