UPS doubling cargo volume, set to build parcel distribution center in Kaunas
Real-estate company Foneta said
the construction in the Kaunas free economic zone (FEZ) for Skubios Siuntos, a company authorized by
UPS, in October.
Vaidotas Lasas, CEO for Skubios Siuntos, said
the construction of the warehouse had to do with the company's plans to double
the parcel flow.
"The flights and the premises are part of expansion of UPS and us, as
an authorized representative, as the Lithuanian economy is growing, also
pulling up the numbers of parcels. To be able to serve businesses, we must keep
up," Lasas told BNS. He refused
to specify the size of investment in the new facilities.
In March, Skubios Siuntos
announced launch of a new route between Kaunas and Cologne, as well as plans to
double freight volume from 4 to 8 million tons.
Cologne houses the biggest UPS
logistics center in Europe. The company entered Lithuania in 1991.
The Kaunas FEZ also includes a 6.5-million-euro parcel distribution center
of DPD Lietuva.
