The group supplies mainly to the food retail, wholesale, hospitality, manufacturing and related industries, i.e. supermarkets, petrol station convenience stores, fast food outlets, restaurants, hotels, wholesalers, institutional, industrial and government kitchens, refrigeration and catering contractors.

Although Universal only listed in 2007, 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 a number of production facilities and offices nationwide and employs some 800 people.

Going forward Universal will focus on maintaining the leadership position that its underlying operations have established in its chosen market segments. This will be achieved through strategies that inter alia include a customer centric focus on delivering customised solutions through superior service and an extensive product range of international quality and standard.

Extracting synergies between its existing business in operational areas such as utilising export networks and distribution as well as production and efficiency related activities offers significant opportunity for growth.

Universal will utilise the strong foundation provided by the existing businesses, which are cash generative with strong balance sheets, to expand its activities to other areas with the objective of becoming a diversified industrial group.
