UPS （纽约所代码：UPS）今天宣布，在下萨克森州经济事务部长 Bernd Althusmann 博士出席的仪式上，在汉诺威-朗根哈根的一个新的 1.6 亿欧元先进技术超级枢纽破土动工。建成后，该枢纽——UPS 在美国以外的投资之一——将成为 UPS 欧洲和德国网络的重要一环，并为企业提供更好的访问该公司智能全球物流网络的机会。
UPS 德国总裁 Frank Sportolari 表示：“商业和零售电子商务的增长——今年仅在线零售额在德国预计将达到近 700 亿欧元——对 UPS 的服务产生了前所未有的需求。” “电子商务为中小企业提供了一个像微型跨国公司一样进行的平台。改造我们在汉诺威-朗根哈根的现有分拣和配送中心，将使德国各种规模的企业能够接触到全球新的商业客户和消费者，无论是在首尔、旧金山还是斯图加特。
为了支持汉诺威-朗根哈根超级枢纽在 UPS 网络中的作用，将在运营和管理职能方面创造多达 500 个新工作岗位。先进的自动化技术将使 UPS 能够将设施的分拣能力提高一倍——从每小时 15,000 个包裹增加到 30,000 个，并为大件物品安装单独的处理流程。
“物流是下萨克森州*重要的经济部门和的雇主之一，”下萨克森州经济事务、劳工、运输和数字化部长 Bernd Althusmann 博士说。“朗根哈根和汉诺威位于德国中部和欧洲的中心——物流行业几乎可以像其他任何地方一样从中获利。因此，UPS 分支机构的扩张是对汉诺威地区业务地点的承诺，同时也是当地公司出口活动的开门红。”
一旦第二阶段的建设于 2023 年完成，新的枢纽将占地 24,000 平方米——相当于三个足球场。建设的阶段将涉及在现有设施旁边建造一座新建筑，由2021 年夏天。第二阶段将涉及拆除现有的分拣配送中心并建造第二座建筑物。
