High Capacity Connectivity

Connectivity
In the Southwestern Michigan Corridor, our superb geographic location is just part of the story. We also stand at the crossroads of e-commerce – connectivity with high-speed broadband capabilities.

Broadband Capabilities
The area’s broadband technology offers lighting-fast transmission speeds that ensure the fastest, real-time e-commerce and co-location logistics for any company ready to hook-up. This results in large-market speed capacity in a cost-savings small town setting.


UPS Distribution


The Southwest Michigan Corridor boasts North America’s second largest over-the-road UPS distribution zone. This means a significant cost advantage when you expand your warehouse, manufacturing facility, office complex, or distribution or e-business fulfillment center in the area. You’ll also benefit from significant reductions in airfreight and express mail costs.

The Southwestern Michigan Business Corridor is also the cost-cutting location for just-in-time manufacturers, warehouse, fulfillment centers and distribution operations. This is because we're strategically centered between the majority of the largest metropolitan areas in the Midwest. Thus our UPS overnight, over-the-road delivery zone surpasses the volumes of Chicago, Indianapolis, or even Detroit.

Your distribution or e-business fulfillment center can consequently reach more then 40 million customers overnight, over-the-road – that’s more than one-seventh of the U.S. population in a five state area. Add the East Coast and Southern major markets, and you've tagged our two-day UPS ground delivery zone. That's two-day over-the-road UPS delivery from Southwestern Michigan to more than half the U.S. population!

Need overnight airfreight delivery? No problem. You're just five miles from the region's largest airfreight hub at South Bend Regional Airport.
