An expanded logistics hub in Clark is strengthening United Parcel Service’s (UPS) freight operations in the Philippines and improving local businesses’ access to international markets as the global courier and Delbros Group respond to increasingly complex supply chain requirements.
The expansion combines UPS’ international delivery network with Delbros’ domestic transport capabilities, aiming to improve cargo movement and help Philippine enterprises connect with overseas customers. Delbros said the investment also supports local employment and reinforces Clark’s position as a logistics gateway.
“Our partnership was built on a shared vision of deepening trade links between the Philippines and the rest of the world,” said Jose Paolo Delgado, chief executive officer of Delbros Group.
“By combining our established domestic networks and local expertise with global capabilities, we can elevate Filipino industries and talent to the international market.”
The companies did not disclose the expansion’s investment cost, additional cargo-handling capacity or projected job creation.
The partnership dates back to a service agreement in 1988 before becoming a formal joint venture in 1997. Its latest expansion comes as businesses face growing demands for more efficient freight movement, reliable deliveries and stronger connections to international supply chains.
For Philippine exporters and other businesses, closer integration between domestic transport networks and global freight services could help reduce logistical bottlenecks and improve access to overseas markets.
“As global trade evolves, our focus remains on building resilient, adaptable infrastructure,” Delgado said. “The Clark expansion is part of a broader mission to ensure Philippine logistics can support complex supply chain demands for decades to come.”
Founded in 1946, Delbros operates across land, air and sea transport, with additional ventures in agriculture and technology.
