UPS announced May 29 it is putting nearly $50 million into its logistics network capabilities with a view to enhancing service to automotive and industrial manufacturers in the U.S. and Mexico.

Specifically, UPS announced the expansion of its North American air freight capabilities by introducing time-definite heavy air freight service to and from Mexico for the first time. It is also extending heavy air freight coverage across North America to better support production-critical supply chains. 

The company, which posted 2025 revenue of $88.7 billion, says it is unusually well-positioned to offer integrated transportation, brokerage and warehousing into a single solution, reducing handoffs and simplifying cross-border shipping.

Beginning in August, UPS will offer one-, two- and three-day air freight service options to and from Mexico that help manufacturers move high-value, time-sensitive parts with greater speed and predictability. 

“Our automotive and industrial customers want an easy button for logistics,” said Matt Guffey, UPS chief commercial and strategy officer. “They need reliability, visibility and a partner that understands their supply chains – end to end, today and tomorrow. We have made strategic investments to build the team and the network that meets their needs unlike any other in the industry.”
