WE INVEST IN THE GROWTH OF THE COMPANY UPB INDUSTRIAL PARK LIEPAJA, LATVIA

30 YEARS

OF EXPERIENCE GROWTH / SYNEGRY / INNOVATIONS

UPB history started 30 years ago in a town of Latvia’s west coast – Liepāja, when a small design and construction 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 specialization fields.

DAINIS BERZINS CHAIRMAN OF THE UPB MANAGEMENT BOARD

“

We thank our employees, clients and cooperation partners for the journey and look forward to reaching new milestones together!

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

Over the years we have developed strong internal culture with focus on continuous development, innovations and – the most importantly – synergy of our group companies. This allows us to be at the forefront of construction industry, and we will strive to keep up with this ambition in the future.
