UPS Mail Innovations opens new processing center near Phoenix

UPS Mail Innovations has opened a new processing center for companies in Arizona and New Mexico to manage their outbound mail processing, near Phoenix.

The company handles the pick-up, processing and sorting of its customers' outbound mail pieces weighing less than one pound and applies postage before delivering the pieces to the US Postal Service for final delivery.

The Arizona facility is processing approximately 20,000 mail pieces each day for distribution to others parts of the country and also delivering about 28,000 already-processed mail pieces each day to nearby Postal Service facilities for final delivery.

UPS Mail Innovations regional manager David Larkin said the company serves customers that have opted to outsource their mail operations, saving them time and money.

"Opening this facility in Arizona enables us to offer customers in the region more efficient and effective service than ever before," Larkin said.

The company said later this month, it will double the size of its facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and next year install a parcel sorter at that facility.

UPS Mail Innovations vice president of Business Development John Walsh said they continue to invest smartly in UPS Mail Innovations because they recognize the critical role it plays in helping businesses operate and grow.

"Business mail processing, when done right, is a vital part of effective logistics for any business," Walsh said.
