UPB Group is Latvia’s largest construction and industrial conglomerate, specializing in complex building projects, precast concrete and steel structures, and large-scale energy installations. With over 30 years of experience and more than 1,600 employees, UPB operates extensively in the Baltic region and Scandinavian markets .

Its integrated business model spans design, in-house production and turnkey delivery of buildings, bridges and energy facilities.
