UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced the completion of a series of multimodal deliveries to the iconic gateway portals of Expo 2020 Dubai ahead of the official opening next year. UPS, the official logistics partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, has choreographed multiple shipments from Germany via the Port of Antwerp in Belgium and to Dubai's main commercial port in Jebel Ali.
"These extraordinary entry portals will welcome 25 million visits - equal to the population of Australia - and, likewise, the logistics required for these expeditions is nothing short of monumental," said Nando Cesarone, president of UPS International. "Whether it's providing a 21-meter entrance or a small package for an international visitor at the Expo 2020 site, our world-class logistics is made possible by a dedicated team that will grow to 600 for this global enterprise."
The 21 x 30 meter carbon fiber structures were placed at the site's three main entrances, about a year before the opening of Expo 2020, on 20 October 2020. The entrances will transform the skyline of the Expo 2020 site and symbolize the futuristic spirit of the international exhibition.
