More on UPS
UPS was founded in 1907 and currently holds the title of the world’s largest package delivery company. UPS is a world leader and a global provider of logistics services. They use advanced technology, and a specialised transportation and logistics network which gives them a competitive advantage over their competitors. Starting out as a bike messenger service, by 1975 their network covered 48 states making them the first parcel delivery company to offer full coverage of the entire United States.
In 1988 UPS launched their own airline and by 1993 they were shipping more than 11.5 million parcels and documents every day. Always keen to utilise technology, and with availability of the internet growing rapidly, UPS introduced online tracking in 1994. Between the years 2000 and 2009 UPS acquired several smaller companies, expanding their service portfolio to include fixed collection and delivery points, as well as the range of logistics services they could offer. Today, UPS continue to develop their services, and remain the dominant player in the courier and express parcel sector.
