PS Inc. said Thursday it was adding new freight and logistics options to customers doing business within Asia.

UPS Supply Chain Solutions is building a distribution and logistics hub in Singapore, scheduled to open in early 2006, that will serve as one of the company's key operations centers for south Asia.

“The need for regional distribution, replenishment and logistics services continues to grow, particularly in south Asia,” John Hafferty, UPS Supply Chain Solutions’ vice president for Asia operations, said in a statement.

The Singapore distribution center, which will boost UPS’s logistics and distribution operations by 50%, follows a recent announcement by the company that it will add 20 new facilities throughout China next year.

UPS is ranked No. 1 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
