Our Story.
UTG was founded in the 1960s by three visionary founders who set out to establish a small company that initially engaged with government tenders for military uniforms and garments. Their pioneering spirit and commitment to excellence laid the groundwork for what would become a vast conglomerate spanning numerous industries and countries.
In its early years, UTG quickly gained a reputation for reliability and innovation, allowing the company to expand beyond its initial focus. By the 1970s, UTG's activities had diversified remarkably. The company had not only ventured into the construction of vital infrastructure like nuclear and wastewater treatment plants but also began catering services for armies, demonstrating its capability to manage large-scale and complex projects.
The 1980s marked a period of significant growth for UTG as it entered the insurance market, introducing the first insurance policies of their kind in Jordan. This pioneering move made a lasting impact on the Jordanian financial services sector. Internationally, UTG expanded its real estate and construction business, establishing offices and operations in key global markets.
By the 1990s, UTG's revenue exceeded $700 million, with more than 14 offices worldwide. The group's interests had grown to include shrimp farming in Singapore, palm oil production in Malaysia, and owning agency rights for leading weapon manufacturers, further diversifying its business portfolio. UTG was not just a company; it was a global force, involved in high-stake industries including agriculture, technology, and weaponry.
As the new millennium approached, UTG continued to innovate and expand, ensuring that the foundation laid by its founders in the 1960s would evolve into a lasting legacy. The company's rich history of growth, adaptation, and innovation not only illustrates its pivotal role in the industries it has been involved with but also promises a future of continued leadership and success.
UTG, from its modest beginning to becoming a global powerhouse, reflects a journey of ambition, foresight, and unwavering commitment to excellence, which continues to drive its endeavors today.
