Our history
It all started with an idea—to create something better, together. Over the years, we have grown from a small initiative to what we are today, but our driving force remains the same: to make a difference for our customers and the world around us. Here is the story of our journey.
In 1985, the young Saied Ghannadan came to Sweden from Iran. He began studying mathematics at Linköping University, where his interest in computers grew. During his PhD studies in optimization, this evolved into a business idea, and in 1993 he started his entrepreneurial journey focusing on hardware and PC-based solutions.
As technology evolved, Saied noticed a growing demand for genuine expertise and steered the business toward delivering smart and sustainable IT solutions as well.
‘"Delivering a little more and a little better, with a long-term business relationship as the goal, has always been my driving force,"he says.
In 1999, UCS (United Computer Systems in Scandinavia AB) was founded with the goal of expanding the business to not only provide IT hardware but also deliver expertise, IT-related services, business management systems, and tools for skills development and knowledge in business management.
An unwavering customer focus has been the driving force behind the company’s growth journey, and in 2015 we reached a long-awaited milestone: UCS became a group (UCS Group AB), with each business now operating within its respective subsidiary.
”The unique collaboration between the different companies within the UCS Group creates a dynamic that makes us a dream factory. We don’t just want to be another supplier; we want to be close as a reliable partner and focus on your specific needs. We want to help your business reach its full potential,” says Saied.
