The Visionary Founder: James Casey and the Birth of UPS

At the heart of UPS's story is James Casey, a visionary entrepreneur who dared to dream of a world where packages could be delivered with speed, reliability, and affordability. In 1907, Casey founded the American Messenger Company in Seattle, Washington, with a mere $100 and a bicycle. Little did he know that this modest venture would blossom into a global logistics giant.

Casey's unwavering belief in the power of customer service and his relentless pursuit of innovation laid the foundation for UPS's enduring success. He pioneered the use of conveyor belts and standardized shipping procedures, transforming the way packages were handled.
