Overview
- UPS opened a $100 million logistics center in Taoyuan, Taiwan, its largest facility in the Asia Pacific region.
- UPS said about 80% of the freight moving through the new hub is high-tech cargo tied to electronics and chips.
- Applied Materials will use the site as its Asian distribution center, giving the hub an anchor customer in chip equipment.
- The company is considering launching flights to Kaohsiung based on demand near TSMC’s new southern factory.
- The location near Taiwan’s main international airport cuts delivery times for chip tools that can idle production lines if delayed.
