TOLLESON, AZ-UPS Mail Innovations has opened a new processing center in suburban Phoenix. The 30,000-square-foot facility will improve service to companies in Arizona and New Mexico that rely on UPS to manage their outbound mail processing.

UPS Mail Innovations is the business mail services unit of Atlanta-based UPS. It 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 U.S. Postal Service for final delivery.

Customers include companies in the retail and pharmaceutical industries, among others. The Arizona facility will process about 20,000 mail pieces daily for distribution to others parts of the country and also deliver about 28,000 already-processed mail pieces daily to nearby Postal Service facilities for final delivery.

"Opening this facility in Arizona enables us to offer customers in the region more efficient and effective service than ever before,” says David Larkin, regional manager for UPS Mail Innovations.

With the opening of this facility, UPS Mail Innovations now processes mail at 16 locations in the US. The Arizona facility is the third major recent investment by UPS in UPS Mail Innovations.

In October 2009, the company added a new parcel sorter to its facility near Logan Township, N.J., allowing for more complete and speedier processing of under-a-pound parcels. Later this month, the company will double the size of its facility in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and next year it will install a parcel sorter at that facility.
