Although Universal Industries was only incorporated in 1996, the underlying businesses are all well established businesses (some with a history of more than 100 years) supplying a diverse range of blue chip clients in the local and international markets. The group has offices nationwide, a number of production facilities and employs 2000 people across Africa and Asia.
This potential is particularly exciting in the context of the African market with the group already exporting more than 25% of turnover. Universal Industries aims to use the foundation provided by the existing businesses, to expand its activities to other areas to become the leading supplier and manufacturer of branded equipment, solutions and services for the food, beverage, hospitality and related industries in Africa. Universal Industries has also invested heavily on the African Continent establishing Offices, Warehousing / Stock, Technical Back-up and Showrooms in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zanzibar and Nigeria.
