Continues operations at new Louisville, Ky. facility
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affiliated Computer
Services, Inc. (ACS) has completed its new TripPak SERVICES(TM) facilities in
Louisville, Ky., and is now partnering with UPS following its transition from
its former location in Wilmington, Ohio.
"Our partnership with UPS gives our clients more choices and greater
convenience, without any price changes," said Kelley Walkup, division vice
president and general manager of ACS Expedited Solutions. "Our relationship
with UPS offers additional reliability and network breadth to exceed our
clients' expectations."
Originally, ACS established operations in Wilmington to be close to its
previous service provider's (DHL) service hub to enable processing
time-sensitive documents rapidly. During this past summer, DHL closed some of
its service locations.
"It became clear that the best plan of action to keep our service level
high for our customers was to relocate to Louisville, closer to UPS. We
immediately began planning proactively to ensure a smooth transition," said
Walkup. "We'll conclude the re-location this week with no service interruption
for our customers. Our comprehensive planning and testing of our operations
will ensure a seamless transition for all of our customers."
Now located near the UPS delivery hub, primary package sorting and
delivery for the TripPak EXPRESS(TM) and TripPak OVERNIGHT(TM) services will
begin at the recently completed ACS facility on Strawberry Lane in Louisville
on Friday, November. 14.
ACS, the recognized leader in business process improvement and outsourced
IT solutions in the truckload market segment, will continue using more than
1,300 TripPak drop boxes, with the addition of the vast network of UPS boxes
and facilities. In addition, the relocation provides both full and part-time
employment opportunities for Louisville-area residents.
ACS, a global FORTUNE 500 company with about 63,000 people supporting
client operations reaching more than 100 countries, provides business process
outsourcing and information technology solutions to world-class commercial and
government clients. The company's Class A common stock trades on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol "ACS." Learn more about ACS at
