Louisville, Ga.
United Parcel Service has completed its new world-class central hub facility at the Louisville International Airport, a $1-billion, seven-year project that more than doubles the size of the company's existing facility. Totalling over 4 million sf, the expansion enables UPS to process approximately 300,000 packages per hour, a 50% productivity improvement. The terminal's infrastructure can support an increase to 500,000 packages per hour. The facility now includes 44 airplane loading docks and more than 17,000 conveyor belts. The expansion is the most expensive project in the company's history.
UPS' Ontario terminal is also undergoing a $30-million expansion and renovation.
