HOUSTON — A new UPS package delivery facility in the Wilowbrook area will bring 575 new full- and part-time jobs to the Houston, the carrier announced Thursday.
Now operating at full capacity, the new facility will significantly increase UPS’s delivery fleet serving Houston.
“The new Willowbrook package processing facility is yet another key addition to the UPS® network that connects businesses of all sizes and consumers throughout the world,” said Deryl Hill, president of UPS’s Red River District that includes Texas and Oklahoma. “UPS continues to increase its capacity in Texas to meet the expanding shipping needs of our commercial and residential customers across this fast-growing state.”
Spanning 258,000 square feet, the new UPS Willowbrook package delivery operation includes a retail customer service center, truck wash with a water reclamation system and an automotive repair shop that sits on a 68 acre area - seven times more than the Houston Astrodome covers.
The new package center is powered by highly-automated technology that rapidly moves packages through the scanning and sorting process, capturing data to increase delivery accuracy and adding flexibility to respond to customer needs.
UPS says Houston-area healthcare and life sciences businesses will benefit from enhanced delivery speed and accuracy from the new Willowbrook center’s advanced package scanning and sortation equipment.
UPS offers UPS Temperature True™ and UPS Proactive Response™ services for parcels requiring strict temperature environments, from CRT to cryogenic. UPS says it has approximately 7 million square feet of cGMP- or cGDP-compliant healthcare distribution space worldwide.
