UPS has announced the opening of its new $30 million distribution centre at the Calgary International Airport (YYC), to provide businesses with direct access to the US and international markets. The facility will be central to the continued growth of Alberta’s economy, allowing local businesses to tap into global growth markets such as China, India and Mexico, UPS said. “The rise of middle classes in China and India offers great potential to businesses in the Calgary area,” said Mike Tierney, president of UPS Canada, “And this new facility will provide our customers with access to those markets in a more convenient and reliable fashion than ever before.”
