UPS expands Latin American healthcare reach

   UPS has opened a 78,000-square-foot healthcare facility in Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico, with plans to open more facilities in Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Santiago in the coming months.
   “The opening of these facilities are a part of UPS’ ongoing strategy to expand its footprint in vital markets and continued investment in technology to meet the demands of our customers,” Romaine Seguin, president for UPS Americas, said in a statement.
   According to officials, when the expansion across Latin America is complete, UPS will reach 70 percent of the “healthcare consumption and manufacturing markets” in Latin America.  
   “Latin America represents a strong growth opportunity for healthcare companies and providers who rely on UPS’s network of dedicated facilities, air freight, and safety and compliance expertise to support their business goals,” John Menna, UPS’ vice president of global healthcare strategy, said in a statement.
