unigroup (holdings) NABV is a privately
held limited liability company with registered offices in
the Netherlands Antilles. The company has been originally
organized in the Isle of Man in 1982, when several
existing activities and corporate entities were
consolidated into one group. The main interests of the
group are organized in a number of divisions. Each
division concentrates on an industrial sector, or a group
of tasks, which require common abilities, similar
organizational structures or which has in some other
aspect a congruence of requirements.
MISSION STATEMENT
The management of the company has a
fundamental believe in the growing globalization of economic
activities. Hence all its staff is multi
lingual and has had working experience in multiple
countries. It is the management's corporate
philosophy that only ongoing operational exposure will
maintain the necessary closeness of the company's
managers to the market place which today's global
exposure requires. As a consequence, management has a
strong commitment to keep a minimal corporate staff and
almost everyone is directly involved with the company's
customers . Thus, apart from devoting some effort to
managing corporate tasks, all staff members remain
directly and continuously involved in operational
activities.
The unigroup companies mission, in summary, is:
To strive for total customer
satisfaction by giving clients the best
possible advise and the highest quality of
products;
To offer clients a range of
global cultural abilities and with
the help of multi disciplinary teams to provide
solutions which results in a genuine and
noticeable improvement in the way a client
conducts his business affairs;
To treat each client as an
individual with unique requirements, calling
for individualized solutions;
To continuously create
innovative new products and services which
address the growing global business information
requirements;
To attract some of the
brightest and most capable people and to
channel and stimulate their creative capacities
in a direction that benefits both our clients and
the people working for our company.
A
Word from the Management
Our
company has grown by leaps and bounds, during the
last few years and not even the current economic
downturn has slowed this growth much.
The
major growth areas were Brazil, Canada and China,
which all started as small entrepreneurial
investments, almost 34 years ago. Today, our
companies are strong players in these markets and
we have a major presence in the countries. We
have always been cautious in combining growth
with continued low leverage. This has paid off,
and we will be looking forward to continued
growth.
Much
of our strength comes from the excellent people
we employ. We continue to invest in our local and
international employees and executives and try to
keep, in every country, a mix that ensures, we
can reach our goals.
We
continue to maintain our long term goals and try
not to be sidetracked by the risks and the
significant economic fluctuations that occur
today. Our aims remain to be environmentally
friendly, and to deliver value for money to the
customer, while at the same time, watching our
risks and maintaining high profitability.
This
coming year, we will accept six new ships that
have already been booked for long term charters.
Similarly, the six large aircraft which we will
receive, have been placed on long term charters
with airlines. We have also converted options for
another 12 aircraft to be delivered during 2012
to 2016.
Despite
the general economic difficulties, our commercial
real estate projects in Canada, Uruguay, Brazil
and Argentina are being completed on time and
have all been leased to clients long before they
have been finished.
We
look forward to a year of healthy and continued
growth.
