In an industry where precision is survival and downtime is not an option, automation isn’t just a luxury — it’s an essential. And few understand this better than Ultech Engineering with the tagline "Essential Automation" launched just in time for OGA 2025.
Established in 2014, Ultech began as a modest venture in the heart of Sarawak, Malaysia. Over the last decade, it has grown into a name synonymous with dependable control and automation solutions across industries — especially in the oil and gas (O&G) sector, where performance under pressure is everything.
Today, Ultech is not just building systems. It’s building trust.
Ultech’s journey started with a clear mission: to deliver instrumentation and control solutions that are smart, sustainable, and field-ready. What began as small-scale electrical works has since evolved into a full-fledged engineering outfit, with a robust track record in automation, process control, power management, and instrumentation.
By 2018, the company had already made a name for itself with advanced PLC troubleshooting and maintenance services. These services formed the foundation of Ultech’s reputation: dependable, on-call problem-solving for some of the most mission-critical systems in O&G platforms and facilities.
That same year, Ultech expanded into Firewater Pump control systems, a vital aspect of safety management in offshore and onshore operations. Then came the Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) projects in 2019 — complex, high-stakes systems that demand uncompromising reliability. In 2022, Ultech took another leap forward with the implementation of Superheater systems, expanding its domain into thermal-based industrial applications.
Each project reflected the same ethos: automation that works as hard as the industries it serves.
Ultech Engineering is built around three critical pillars:
With expertise in PLCs and system integration, Ultech ensures that every pump, valve, and sequence runs exactly as designed. From Allen Bradley CompactLogix systems used in Firewater Pumps to high-level logic tuning, Ultech ensures total control over every moving part.
When it comes to backup power, there is no room for second chances. Ultech’s work on Emergency Diesel Generators is reinforced by industry-leading DEIF controllers (iE350 and AGC150), built for marine and power generation applications. These systems keep platforms powered when everything else goes dark.
Instrumentation is the nervous system of any plant. Ultech pairs SPT Maju’s Cabex cable glands with Weidmuller terminal technologies to maintain clarity, safety, and data integrity across complex environments. It’s about creating clean, readable, and connected systems that operators can rely on.
In every discipline, Ultech’s approach is simple: build smart, build safe, and build systems that don’t need second-guessing.
At the heart of every system lies the panel — and at Ultech, we build them to do more than just house components. Our control panels and switchboards are engineered for total functionality, clean wiring, operator-friendly layouts, and long-term maintainability. From managing EDG systems to integrating automation and distribution boards, we design panels in-house or Rockwell Automation's CUBIC Modular MCC Solutions to meet the specific demands of each project. It’s not just about control — it’s about creating systems that engineers and operators can trust every day.
As the team heads to OGA 2025, Malaysia’s premier oil and gas industry event, Ultech is putting its best technology on display — not just to showcase, but to spark new conversations.
Here’s what you can expect to experience at their booth:
These are the brains behind Ultech’s reliable backup power systems. DEIF’s iE350 and AGC150 provide redundancy, seamless switchover, and complete generator management — ideal for both marine and industrial applications.
Firewater Pump systems demand instant response and continuous performance and control. Ultech integrates Allen-Bradley’s CompactLogix series to ensure ultra-responsive and rugged fire suppression logic. Fast, reliable, and fail-safe — exactly what’s needed when seconds count.
Handling thermal systems with industrial precision, the Mitsubishi iQR series brings high-speed processing and tight control to Ultech’s Superheater automation. It’s engineered with precise heat control in mind, essential in oil and gas operations to eliminate humidity in areas leading to the engine and compressor.
At the instrumentation level, Ultech ensures long-term durability with Weidmuller terminals and SPT’s Cabex cable glands — safeguarding the integrity of connections across temperature shifts, moisture, and corrosive environments.
Remote visibility is no longer optional. With Genesis64, operators can access and control plant systems in real time — from anywhere. This web-based SCADA platform enables smart monitoring, reporting, and optimization, all in a visually intuitive interface.
Whether it’s control logic, energy flow, or data visibility — Ultech is bringing it all to the floor at OGA 2025.
The stakes are high in the oil and gas industry. Whether offshore or on land, the systems in play must balance extreme reliability with precise performance. With more operators turning to digital transformation and Industry 4.0 frameworks, essential automation has shifted from a backend function to a frontline asset.
Ultech understands these dynamics — because they’ve been there, system after system, solving problems in real-time.
In short, essential automation isn’t just making oil & gas smarter — it’s making it safer, leaner, and more resilient.
What sets Ultech apart isn’t just the technology — it’s the hands-on experience and ability to scale. The team has worked in diverse environments, facing both time-critical emergencies and long-haul system builds. Their partnership with SPT Maju further extends their reach across the O&G asset chain, bringing reliable instrumentation hardware to the heart of control systems.
Whether you’re managing brownfield upgrades, building a new facility, or looking to modernize your monitoring systems, Ultech brings a grounded, practical approach to even the most complex automation challenges.
That’s why, in 2025, we introduced our new tagline: Essential Automation.
It’s more than just a phrase — it’s a reflection of how we see the future of engineering. In industries like oil and gas, where the cost of failure is high and the margin for error is razor-thin, automation is not a luxury — it’s essential.
We chose this tagline to spotlight the invisible systems that make everything else possible:
– The firewater pump that consistently pumps out water to put out fires.
– The emergency generator that powers up when all else fails.
– The control system that quietly keeps operations in balance.
– The SCADA dashboard that offers clarity across vast distances.
These are not add-ons. They are the backbone of safe, efficient, and intelligent industry operations.
“Essential Automation” is about giving attention to the technologies that don’t always get the spotlight — but without them, the entire system would stop. It’s about honoring the systems we build, the people who operate them, and the industries that rely on them every day.
As we head into OGA 2025, that message will be at the heart of everything we showcase. Because automation isn’t optional — it’s essential.
As OGA 2025 approaches, Ultech Engineering is more than ready to meet the future head-on. The company’s legacy may have been built from the ground up, but its eyes are clearly on what’s next — smarter systems, seamless integration, and industrial intelligence that works as hard as you do.
From process to power, from control panels to remote dashboards, Ultech isn’t just part of the automation wave — it’s helping to shape it.
Before we look ahead, let’s take a moment to look back. OGA 2024 was a milestone year for Ultech Engineering — where we connected with industry leaders, showcased our automation solutions that attempted to converge IT with OT, and sparked meaningful conversations about the future of control systems. From live product demos to behind-the-scenes tech talks, it was an incredible experience that reminded us why we do what we do. If you missed it (or want to relive it), check out our official OGA 2024 recap video below and catch a glimpse of the energy, the innovation, and the people behind Ultech’s journey.
