In 2000, UGL build a new manufacturing facility in Jackson, Mississippi which will house both distribution and manufacturing. The sales force calls directly on retailers, making sure they receive the marketing and merchandising support needed to gain maximum benefit from the UGL sales program. The corporate officers also deserve recognition. The new and expanded facilities and dedicated sales staff will help continue that commitment throughout the remainder of the 1990s and beyond. While UGL reflects on the past, it looks forward to a promising future.
Sales continue to increase and the customer base continues to expand.
