INTRODUCTION ABOUT US MANAGEMENT APPROACH
MANUFACTURED CAPITAL
Sharing of assets to ensure continuous production (Synergy and self-sufficiency)
Production sustained despite difficulties:
All our manufacturing companies were able to maintain production without any interruption this year, despite local and global issues, namely a new national lockdown, residual effects of the pandemic and impacts of the Russian- Ukrainian war on supply chains and costs.
Engineering projects and services:
The Engineering Design and Project department continues to upgrade our factories with the latest technical solutions. Under the aegis of this department and with the collaboration of our internal supply chain section and mechanical / electrical workshops, capital expenses related to engineering works are managed efficiently.
Streamlining processes (Efficiency and resilience)
UBP: Continuous standardisation of procedures across our production sites:
We are working towards the definition and implementation of more standardised procedures and practices for UBP’s production sites. This initiative will enable clearer and more realistic projections of production costs, which will in turn improve cost allocation and facilitate adaptation to changes. This exercise will:
Improve procedures, increase employees’ understanding and relay employers’ expectation;
Ease handing-over of tasks and training of newcomers; Favour improvement of good practices .
Expanded service and product range through the acquisition of Premix. (Synergy and self-sufficiency)
One of the major events of this financial year is the acquisition of Premix which has allowed us to expand our product offering within our own industry.
The Premix product range:
The Classics: The Esthetics:
TheProSeries:
Our standard range of ready-mixed concrete.
This creative range combines beauty and performance and offers a wide range of decorative concretes with different patterns and textures (waxed, polished, rock, relief, etc.) and colours with the possibility of customising the colour of the product. The concrete range is for both indoor and outdoor use.
Our speciality and technical concretes, such as the “High Strength”, the “Rapid Strength” and the self-compacting concrete.
“Premix is a positive addition
to UBP’s current offering. Our customers now have everything they need in terms of building materials within the same Group. Our products are also technologically advanced, easy to use and durable. Innovation is in our DNA and we will continue to invest in offering the best to our customers”
