UPS celebrates a major
milestone this year
– its 100th anniversary.
Started in a tiny
Seattle office on the
US Pacific coast with
a US$100 loan, it now
serves more than 200
countries worldwide,
and operates the world’s
eighth-largest airline.
UPS has been active
in South Africa since the
mid 1990s.
"One of it founders,
Jim Casey, was known
for saying: 'Our horizon
is as distant as our
mind’s eye wishes it to
be'," UPS South Africa
managing director Paul
Horsfall said. “If we stay
close to this sentiment,
UPS is certain to
innovate and grow for
another 100 years.”
