A new 2,500 square foot heritage centre has recently been opened by UniGroup Inc., at its Fenton Headquarters in Missouri.

The centre showcases the history of the company and the rich heritage of United Van Lines and other subsidiaries in the group.

Unigroup is the parent company of United Van Lines which is celebrating its 65th anniversary, and Mayflower Transit, which is simultaneously celebrating its 85th anniversary.

Some interesting items on display at the new centre, include a torch from the 1984 Olympics, antique moving equipment and photos of agents and moving vehicles used throughout the company's history.

UniGroup is a $1.6 billion privately held company.  It employs about 850 people, most of whom work at the corporate headquarters, and has a network of 350 agents at 700 locations nationwide and a number of international partners.

Customers and visitors are welcome to explore the Heritage Center, examine historic artifacts and photos, as well as search for agent-specific information.
