UPS Expands Express Critical Services in Europe

UPS Inc. is launching its Express Critical delivery service in Europe in response to demand for urgent shipments that require special handling, such as aircraft parts or surgical tools.

“Expansion in Europe reflects our commitment to helping customers in a broad range of industries solve their most critical logistics and transportation challenges,” said Daniel Gagnon, vice president of global logistics and distribution for UPS in the United States, where a similar service has been offered for customers in health care and life sciences industries and for aerospace and manufacturing companies.

UPS Express Critical service can include the use of air, charter, surface and personal couriers to move goods, and includes additional security and insurance services through UPS Capital.
