Who is Mr. Universal?

The corporate mascot (pictured above) was developed by the original owners of Universal Form Clamp Co. Throughout the years he has been seen on everything affiliated with Universal Form Clamp. Since 2006, UBP has focused on its global logo but actively uses Mr. Universal to represent our promise of quality and convenience.

About UBP

Universal Building Products is the largest privately-owned manufacturer of concrete forms and accessories in North America. UBP was launched in 2006 with the merger of two industry leaders Universal Form Clamp and Don De Cristo Concrete Accessories.

 

Universal Form Clamp opened for business in a garage over eighty years ago, and throughout the years, the business created a name for itself. Don De Cristo started on the West Coast over 30 years ago expanding its market presence across the United States. The combination of these two companies creates a powerhouse in the industry - focusing on innovation and customer service.
