TAOYUAN, Taiwan, March 25, 2026 - Global logistics and supply chain solutions leader UPS (NYSE: UPS) today unveiled its largest and most advanced logistics center in Asia Pacific.
Housing advanced automation technology, a full suite of value-added capabilities, and state-of-the-art storage and warehouse management solutions for customers in a wide range of industries, the UPS Taoyuan International Logistics Center (TILC) helps UPS customers boost productivity, operate more efficiently, and strengthen supply chains.
Located five kilometers from Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), Taiwan's largest cargo airport, it also provides fast and seamless connectivity to the global UPS network via the 22 flights UPS operates into and out of TPE every week.
"Businesses across Asia Pacific are pursuing many opportunities to strengthen every part of their supply chain," said Lauren Zhao, president of UPS Asia Pacific Supply Chain Solutions and Freight Forwarding. "Taiwan plays a vital role in global supply chains, especially semiconductor manufacturing and high-value sectors such as medical technology. The TILC, which was created to meet evolving customer needs, boosts productivity, efficiency, agility, and gives customers flexibility for future challenges."
Applied Materials, the world's leading semiconductor and display equipment company, uses the TILC as its Asia continental distribution center.
"Applied Materials is strengthening the speed and agility of our supply chain as AI drives global semiconductor demand to new heights," said Group Vice President and President of Applied Materials Taiwan Erix Yu. "The UPS TILC provides a scalable, flexible and automation-ready logistics foundation that supports Applied's regional growth initiatives."
UPS's investment in the TILC totals nearly 100 million U.S. dollars. With over 81,000 square meters (875,000 square feet/24,500 ping) of floorspace, it more than doubles the size of UPS's warehouse footprint in Taiwan. Among its features are a fleet of automated mobile robots (AMR), which are programmed to carry out tasks such as pick and pack, and inventory management.
Using AMRs leads to significant productivity gains. For example, once a customer order arrives at the TILC, it can be processed and packed onto shelves roughly 40% faster than current processing speeds. Customers can also double the number of products they can stack in the equivalent space on regular shelving. Meanwhile, errors made during the order picking process are reduced to near zero.
"Overall, using the AMRs can lead to a doubling in productivity, and a significant improvement to the customer experience - the faster we can process, pack and pick our customers' inventory, the faster they can respond to orders from their customers, increasing satisfaction," adds Zhao.
This is the latest in a series of investments by UPS in its Asia Pacific network, helping businesses grow by enabling the seamless flow of goods across borders and into UPS's global smart logistics network.
UPS offers its full portfolio of end-to-end logistics, digital and supply chain solutions to businesses in Taiwan, delivering to over 200 countries and territories worldwide in as little as one business day.
