On behalf of Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) Board and the Advisory Council, I would first of all wish to congratulate the business community for having gone through 2013 despite the business challenges and sad demise of UMA patron H.E. Dr. James Mulwana (R.I.P) on 15thJanuary 2013. I call upon all the UMA members to be committed to the Association and emulate the great works and passion the late had, bearing in mind that his tireless efforts and contribution has yielded lots of fruits. I also want to congratulate the organizers of the 1st CSR awards and especially the German government through GIZ (Germany International Co-operations Agency) which supported the private sector to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities by participating in the 2013 1st CSR Awards process in Uganda. It is no doubt, we the business community in Uganda, need to participate in CSR activities for the good of our communities and the environment. My appreciation goes to UMA secretariat and the private sector partners that made the Awards Ceremony on 4th December 2013 at Serena Kampala Hotel a success. Finally, I want to thank the former Chairman Mr. Kaddu Kiberu and the board for encouraging the association to work with development partners in the areas of health and Corporate Social Responsibility. Long live UMA, Long Live Uganda.

Mr. Amos Nzeyi Chairman Uganda Manufacturers Association

Warm greetings from Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA). Let me take this opportunity to applause the members of UMA who have continuously integrated the UMA workplace health programs with their day to day operations. We as the secretariat believe in our slogan “A good life at work promotes productivity”. Indeed the health of your employees, their dependants and the surrounding community will not only promote productivity of the workforce but ensures good relationship with neighbours, enhances security and good company image. I further want to thank the International development partners especially United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and German International Cooperation (GIZ) and the local partners namely; National Medical Stores (NMS), Ministry of Health (MOH), National Drug Authority (NDA), Uganda Cares, Standard-Chartered Bank, International Medical Group (IMG), African Air Rescue (AAR) Radio One & Akaboozi, Central Broadcasting Services (CBS) radio, Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau (UPMB), China-Uganda Friendship Hospital Naguru ,Roofings Ltd, PSFU, Kiswa Health Center IV to mention but a few, who have continuously supported the Association on workplace health programs. Special thanks go to Cardino Emerging Markets group for supporting the private sector Uganda in several health programs through the Health Initiatives for the Private Sector Project (HIPS) and building the capacity of UMA to carry and sustain health program in Uganda. Finally I appeal to UMA members and other private sector companies that have not yet taken up the health programs to act for better working environment. GOD BLESS YOU

Q: How did Uganda Baati become one of the largest steel producing companies in the region? A: Uganda Baati is a member of the SAFAL Group of Com- panies - the largest producer of steel based roofing products in the East and Central African region and the leading manufacturer of roofing products in Africa. Founded in 1964 - Uganda Baati was the first company in the East African region to introduce an ultra-modern continuous galvanizing roof sheet production line (see photos at the bottom of this page) and as of 2011, our production output has surpassed 55.000 metric tonnes per year. What are the key factors that have ensured the company success over the years? Our key strength is the ability to offer our clients tailor made roofing solutions, which combined with the established high quality of our products, has lead to brand recognition. Uganda Baati has been in existence since 1964 and holds today a leading market share of 60%. We are also an ISO 14001: 2004 and 9001:2008 certified company and all our products are further certified by UNBS.
