NAME

The U&I that now includes many subsidiaries and affiliated companies operating in different businesses such as Investment, Realty, Audit, Construction, Transport, Forwarding, Handicraft Trading and Export Manufacturing is the name of a holding corporation in Binh duong Province, Viet Nam. U&I stands for You and I and was originally set up by Mr. Mai Huu Tin and Ms. Doan Ngoc To Uyen, Binh Duong citizens who believe that when working together Vietnamese people can also do business, and do it well.

STARTING POINT

Early 1998, Binh Duong started to be known as an attractive investment location in a stably developing Vietnam when other countries in the region were facing consequences of the 1997 financial crisis. More and more foreign investors came to Binh Duong. They needed information. They wanted to know how to select a place to set up their business, how to get license, how to import equipment and materials and how to export their products while they did not have qualified staff yet. U&I came into being to meet all these needs.

Thanks to the vast experience in the fields and the connections of its members, U&I attracted many regular clients right from its early days to survive and to prepare the groundwork for the strong development of the name U&I.

U&I INVESTMENT CORPORATION (UNIGROUP): HOLDING COMPANY

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the name U&I and to streamline the management of its businesses, on April 15th 2003 U&I Ltd. was officially transformed to become a holding company in the name of U&I Investment Corporation (Unigroup) with a registered capital of VN$ 45 billion, asserting the growth and success of a group of Vietnamese owned and managed businesses.

The U&I now places its headquarters at the U&I Building, a nicely and fully equipped 3,000m2 6-story structure located in the heart of Thu Dau Mot town, Binh Duong province.
