UniGroup Named as a Greater St. Louis Top 50 Business Award Winner

UniGroup, Inc., the parent company of United Van Lines and other transportation-related companies, has been named as one of Greater St. Louis' Top 50 Businesses. UniGroup was chosen by the St. Louis Regional Chamber & Growth Association (RCGA) for its contributions to the St. Louis region and positive impact on the St. Louis business community.

"UniGroup is honored to be recognized among some of St. Louis’ most prominent companies,” said Richard H. McClure, president of UniGroup. “We are grateful for our past success and look forward to continued growth as part of the St. Louis community.”

According to the RCGA, the Top 50 companies represent the best of what St. Louis has to offer, not only with their contributions to the region, but their positive impact on the business community and business success. The criteria used to select the 50 St. Louis-based companies were growth in the number of employees; revenue growth; acquisitions and expansion of facilities; and overall contributions to the St. Louis regional economy.

The RCGA is the chamber of commerce and economic development organization for the 16-county, bi-state region. With nearly 4,000 member companies, RCGA members constitute 40% of the regional work force. The mission of the RCGA is to unite the region’s business community, and to engage dynamic business and civic leadership to develop and sustain a world-class economy and community.
