In 1978, a few close friends decided to get together, pooled their assets and formed a company, United Enterprises & Co. Ltd. (UECL). They hoped that their unique business perspectives would help build a firm that would last for decades and would one day become a pioneering organization in the country. After about four decades from that day, United Enterprises & Co. Ltd., now more widely known has United Group, has come a long way to becoming one of the most recognized business houses of the nation.
