The company

Built in Miri, for plants that run around the clock

ULTECH began trading in 2011 as Ultimate Engineering Trading Company and was incorporated as ULTECH Engineering Sdn. Bhd. in 2014. The work covers the full project life cycle — feasibility study, detailed engineering, field engineering, commissioning and site support — with a workshop in Miri and engineers who reach offshore, onshore and rural sites when a system is down.
