CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

The idea of founding United Project Group Holding Company ( UPG ) started as a dream that could only be brought to fruition through initiative, determination, hard work and professionalism. While our competitors set out to establish company good will and realize financial gains, our sights were set on far nobler goals that stretched beyond financial figures or a market reputation.

From the onset, we focused on achieving success by undertaking projects that would leave a lasting impact on the country long after UPG 's contributions. This path was our guide...this path lead to distinction and excellence.

The route we paved for UPG is free from theories that are not applied or slogans that are not implemented. While we aimed at building a mammoth of a company, the government was at work opening doors to lucrative opportunities that were made available to investors wishing to support and develop the national economy. This was the first step of a prosperous journey.

Because we are firm in the belief that UPG was established to inaugurate a new era of excellence and success and to achieve objectives which warranted a solid union from our part, we have put forward new initiatives to meet the investment needs of the growing market.

The encouraging investment climate in the country and region and our strategic choice of partners with whom a common vision is shared, aided us greatly in translating our efforts into achievements.

UPG is driven by team work. Board members, directors and employees of UPG and its various subsidiaries function as a single unit with clear, modern aims and aspirations. We set out to apply the latest theories and concepts of leadership and management to ensure quality and merit in our performance and the exploitation of the many opportunities that abound in our region.

We concurrently stand as a gateway for regional and global companies wishing to invest in various sectors. Today, we have an impressive record of strategic partners who acknowledge the high standards that UPG and its subsidiaries maintain. Be that as it may, our primary strategic partner is time and having time on our side is a critical factor in achieving further success.
