HISTORY

How We Began

  The Universal Beverage Imports story begins when two friends with over 50 years of beverage industry experience decided to begin the development of a beverage importing and exporting company in 2014. 

  “U.B.I.” is a Delaware based L.L.C. that provides a diverse line beer, wines and spirits to Distributors and Retail Chains that seek exclusivity in their target markets. U.B.I. offers the perfect balance of quality, variety and value.  U.B.I. currently services 17 states with focus in the core markets U.S. East Coast. While we continue to expand our footprint, U.B.I. is dedicated to the growth and success of our brands, suppliers, and our people.  We strive to be the most effective, trusted, committed importer-exporter and supplier of beverages in the United States. Our experience and knowledge of the extremely competitive U.S. market, strong partnerships with suppliers, distributors, and national/regional retailer customers has positioned us for continued growth and success.


“The relentless search to bring you better solutions continues to be at the core of everything we do.”
