Universal Builders Supply, Inc. (UBS) is celebrating 87 years as one of the nation’s leading specialty subcontractors, and its executive staff has shifted to accommodate a new chapter in the company’s development: branching into new market sectors through continued implementation of the latest technologies in hoisting and common-platform design and erection.

Infrastructure is one of these key markets, and with UBS’s trusted reputation providing exceptional services from start to finish, the company has built and maintains the inventory needed to ensure its success.

Building a Future that Resonates the Past

CEO and Chairman Kevin O’Callaghan, whose leadership has led to UBS’s expansion, opening offices in Washington, D.C., Canada and the U.K., recently appointed Chief Operating Officer Chris Evans President of the company. This managerial modification will allow UBS to continue providing best-in-class service as it moves into new and exciting territories.

“In beginning this new chapter, we keep our history at the forefront of our minds and look to perpetuate that ingenuity,” said O’Callaghan. “That history allows us to make well-informed engineering decisions and pairing it with our commitment to innovative problem solving and engineering adaptability, we are confident about breaking into new markets.”
