As we celebrate UBP’s 70th anniversary, we commemorate seven decades in the construction industry, looking both at our past accomplishments with pride and at the future and its endless possibilities with hope. We thank our dedicated employees, visionary leadership, and supportive shareholders for their pivotal roles in our enduring success.

During Mauritius’ darkest times, UBP supported the country in building solid foundations for the nation: after cyclone Carole in 1960, we industrialised the production of concrete blocks to meet urgent needs. Amid the pandemic, we prioritised the safety of Mauritians and our employees, standing in solidarity.

For this occasion, we place a strong emphasis on celebrating our employees and thus honour in a unique and befitting way seven exceptional employees and partners, our “emotion-building heroes,” representing various trades. To celebrate our anniversary, we are holding eight nationwide exhibitions of photos showcasing UBP’s major milestones, which started at Bagatelle Mall. In October 2023, we launched the “Creative Challenge,” promoting sustainability and citizen engagement with Smart Blocks. The festivities will wrap up in December 2023. Learn more about our exciting celebrations and activities on dedicated sections of the digital version of the Integrated Report.

Here’s to 70 years of building emotions and – paving the way forward – to many more to come!
