What our Customers Say

BRAND BOYS
BRAND BOYSMichele Haskins, Managing Director
Brand Boys has been operating since 2018, providing nationwide distribution to both retail and wholesale customers across Botswana. We partnered with UPP in 2019 and together we have built a strong and successful relationship that continues to grow. Through UPP's exceptional service and support, commitment to quality, and innovative product range, we have experienced tremendous year on year growth in the Botswana market. Their dedication to developing the UPP brand and continued support has been key in our shared success. We value our partnership with UPP and look forward to continuing this growth journey together for many years to come.
LUMAR FOODS
LUMAR FOODSRobin Peet, Business Development Manager
When I got into food distribution, I envisioned artisanal ingredients and gourmet spreads. Nobody sat me down to explain the inevitable biological sequel to that food: an alarming amount of serviettes and toilet paper. Thankfully, the legends at Universal Paper & Plastics stepped in to save the day. Their pricing is sharp, the quality is top-tier, and deliveries arrive on time every single time (which is great, because that’s not a shipment you want arriving late). Honestly, these fine people wipe the competition clean. We wouldn't roll with anyone else.
