Our shareholders: a recognition of their support
A part of the culture of the UVESA emerged from the initial meetings with potential partners with whom UVESA announced at the beginning
In 1962, shareholders of UVESA were about 100 members and currently are more than 1,500 shareholders. These meetings early, that they were individual, regional and provincial, have become currently meeting areas and annual (called pre-assemblies and assemblies) and are still acts simple and cordial, where there is a direct contact of the partners (called shareholders) together with the Board of Directors..
In Uvesa, since 1969, our shareholders are called and is still called, in a very intimate way, with the words FAMILY UVESISTA.
To UVESA, his family Uvesista was, is and remains its origins and now we are in the 2nd and 3rd generation of his first partners and we recognize their great support through these 50 years and for the following years. Thanks FAMILY UVESISTA.
