UPS boosts Israel, Slovakia air freight presence

UPS boosts Israel, Slovakia air freight presence    UPS has expanded its Express Freight service into Israel and Slovakia to serve expanding high-tech, industrial and automotive industries in those countries.
   The air freight service offers one- to three-business day door-to-door service, including customs clearance and an on-time performance guarantee.
   'Our decades of experience in the high-tech, industrial and automotive industries combined with our expertise in global trade and international air freight makes UPS well-positioned to address the growing import and export needs of these countries,' said Scott Aubuchon, director of international air freight marketing at UPS.
   UPS noted that Israel is a key destination in the high-tech sector with major players in the industry maintaining operations in the country. While nearly half of Israel's exports come from this sector, UPS Express Freight also is prepared to import and export everything from airplane and automobile parts to jewelry and precious gems, which also are manufactured in the country.
   Slovakia, a member of the European Union, has become a center for automotive and industrial manufacturing, representing manufacturing operations of some of the world's biggest automakers. These industries particularly benefit from the time-definite services, UPS said.
