"Kentucky works hard to see that we have what we need to grow."

UPS Worldport can sort more than 300,000 packages an hour at its air hub here in Louisville. By the time our 4 millionsquare-foot facility finishes its second massive expansion in June 2009, sorting capacity will grow to nearly 500,000. But we do a lot more than ship packages and documents. Much of our growth has been in the supply-chain solutions side of the business. Companies simply hand their logistics needs over to us, and we take care of them. Our hub has thrived in Kentucky, a business-friendly state that’s ripe with economic opportunity. The mild climate means our operations are rarely interrupted. We’re at the far western edge of the Eastern time zone, giving us maximum flexibility to serve both coasts – and the rest of the world. Quality of life is high and stress is low. To top it off, the state of Kentucky has worked closely with us to ensure that we have the space, the workforce, and the tax structure we need to grow. Our partnership with Kentucky adds up to one great package.
