United Makkah Madina Travel Assistance Co. Ltd. embarked upon its mission to be a facilitator and guide for the hajjis during this holy duty. Recognized as one of the few registered travel agencies authorized to deal with all Hajj and Umrah matters, this company has been organizing such trips for nearly a decade now.

By being fair and honest in our dealings and a strong adherence to the Quran and Sunnah we have, by the Grace of the Almighty, become a market leader in this profession. A testament of this lies in the fact that almost all our dedicated clients have come to us based on referrals they get from pilgrims who have honored us in the past by choosing to travel with us.

Our goal has been to provide an environment where the hajjis bond with strong communal feelings, where they help each other through this journey. We strive to ensure that the experience remains unforgotten.

United Group endeavors to design buildings, be it residential or commercial complexes in a fashion such that the impact to the environment is kept to a bare minimum. United International University is the only private university in the country with a built-up area and green area ratio of 1:1. UIU has the largest football field in a private educational institute of the country. The classrooms are designed in a manner to maximize the use of sunlight during daytime, instead of using artificial lighting, therefore reducing the energy consumption of the facility. Our students enjoy the proximity to the nature and they celebrate spaces and colors in a campus sprawled across 25 bighas of land.

United Hasna Hena is an example of nature and modern architecture blended in a perfect mix. United’s Corporate Office under construction at Satarkul is designed to have a 77% green area. The buildings, constructed with strict adherence to the Bangladesh National Building Code 2006, uses the green concept accommodating sufficient rooftop and hanging gardens.

EFFICIENT USE OF
FOSSIL FUELS

United emphasizes on designing power plants using the most advanced technology. The high efficiency engines reduces fuel consumption and use lean-burn technology

United emphasizes on designing power plants using the most advanced technology. The high efficiency engines reduces fuel consumption and use lean-burn technology that ensure complete combustion of the fuel. The impact on ambient air quality is kept to a minimum by using of stacks having heights that adhere to World Bank standards for power plants. Noise levels are kept within limits by using sandwich panels, silencers and building solid brick walls around the plant premises.

To reduce the emission level and fossil fuel consumption further, United has installed co-generation scheme in 3 of its large power plants at Dhaka EPZ, Chittagong EPZ and Ashuganj. The plants of UPGD produces steam by using Exhaust Gas Boilers. This steam produced, without any additional fossil fuel, is sold to industries with a requirement for quality steam, in the vicinity of the plants.

The 200 MW combined cycle, modular power plant is the first and till date the only one of its kind in Bangladesh. Each of the engines in the power plant are coupled with Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB) that produces steam upon being fired from the exhaust of the engines to produce 16.1 MW of additional electricity without using any additional fossil fuel, thereby reducing carbon footprints. This largest gas-fired Flexi-cycleTM has been such a successful environment friendly that all the upcoming plants of United is being replicated in this model using the concept of combined cycle modular.

Gunze United Ltd. does not house any captive power generation facility neither does it have any boiler for steam production. Both electricity and steam is supplied from its sister concern, UPGD’s DEPZ power plant located adjacent to it and hence is an industry that operates without burning any fossil fuels!

United Property Solutions develops commercial spaces with a combination of central and VRF based air conditioning system along with chillers to reduce the pressure of energy sources.

Through significant ongoing investments, ULPTL plans to become a fully comprehensive port unit, providing a one-stop solution for exporters, importers and the government alike.

Message from CEO

United Pharma and Healthcare Limited (UPHL) has been operating its pharmacy chain brand Wellbeing Pharmacy (WB) since April 2018. Like other concerns of United Group, WB is also working for engraving a distinct mark of the Brand through providing top quality products, services and solutions to its valued customers. As of the year 2023, the chain runs with 10 (ten) brick & mortar outlets and one alternate channel of product delivery. We have plans to grow aggressively in coming years.

In UPHL, the team relentlessly works to ensure authenticity and quality of the products that our customers get from us. This is not new to us that, a significant portion of the products in the medicine market of Bangladesh are counterfeit/sub-standard/refurbished*. On top of that, many of the wholesalers and retailers do not take appropriate measure to maintain the quality of the products. Being in the advantageous position with regard to procurement cost, these traders can offer unusual price benefits to the clients/consumers. In such a market scenario, it is a very tough task to continuously focus on quality and authenticity instead of price. Wellbeing Pharmacy has been performing this tough job with utmost sincerity and honesty. We are continuously learning and improving ourselves just because we care for our customers, we care for our community and we care for our country. We are truly committed to your wellness and we are truly committed to quality & authenticity.
