The company, a family-controlled corporation owned by Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Ch. Chan and their children, was incorporated in 1975 with principal address at Tacloban City, the center of trade and commerce for the province of Leyte and Samar. The Chan family was operating the oldest construction materials supply and hardware store in Tacloban City, supplying majority of the Contractors in the area. Subsequently, they then decided to enter the construction business as it was already financing the construction industry at that time. This gave birth to the establishment of Unimasters Conglomeration Incorporated (UNIC).Initially, UNIC was created to engage in construction of vertical development such as houses and buildings. In the late 1980s, the company shifted to horizontal development and grew to be the largest construction company in Leyte and Samar with more than 150 units of heavy equipment. The business then diversified to equipment rental; supply of auto and construction equipment spare parts; development of sub-division lots and housing; and supply of concrete aggregates, asphalt concrete, ready-mix concrete and other concrete products.UNIC, categorized as class "AAA" by the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB), was participating in international bidding against foreign contractors. Most of its construction contracts were jointly financed by the Philippine Government and foreign lending institutions such as ADB, IBRD and OECF (later changed to JBIC).The company was awarded the Outstanding Contractor for Road & Bridges by the Department of Trade and Industry during the First Construction Industry Congress held in 1992. Out of 6 categories, it was the only provincial-based contractor awarded among Manila-based contractors.Currently, UNIC’s main line of business is in Port Irene, Cagayan Economic Zone providing port services to mining companies as well as operation of the Leyte Park Resort-Hotel, the biggest hotel in Region VIII.The company’s principal address is 17 J.
