30 YEARSOF EXPERIENCE

“We thank our employees, clients andcooperation partners for the journey andlook forward to reaching new milestonestogether!

DAINIS BERZINSCHAIRMAN OF THE UPB MANAGEMENT BOARD

UPB history started 30 years ago in a town of Latvia’s west coast – Liepāja, when a small design and construc-tion company “Arhitekta U.Pīlēna birojs” was founded. Since then it has evolved from a team of three partners to international industrial group with more than 2000 employees, enterprises in 9 countries and diverse spe-cialization fi elds.

Our specialization is technically complex and challeng-ing projects, where UPB is able to cover full process – from engineering and production to assembly and ser-vice. Moreover, we are celebrating our 30th anniversary with the highest turnover in our history.

Over the years we have developed strong internal cul-ture with focus on continu ous development, innovations and – the most importantly – synergy of our group com-panies. This allows us to be at the forefront of construc-tion industry, and we will strive to keep up with this am-bition in the future.
