UTEC’s Key Business Units
Early in 2007 the company announced its reorganization, and new aggressive growth plans, reorganizing into new business units. Today, UTEC offers the following key growth platforms:
Energetic Materials
The legacy Energetic Materials Business continues to focus on the traditional commercial and military explosives markets, providing testing services, product development, technology licensing, and custom manufacturing services. With over fifty years of service to our customers, UTEC has developed an impeccable reputation for reliability and quality, as well as timely and cost effective services to the domestic and international customers. The long standing relationships with customers and fundamental understanding of their needs are the keys to UTEC’s Energetic Materials unit success.
Special Chemicals & Raw Materials
The Specialty Chemicals & Raw Materials unit leverages long term relationships with commercial and military producers of energetic materials to utilize existing paths to market for key raw materials to these customers. The overall strategy of the Specialty Chemicals Business is to take advantage of our expertise with highly reactive materials, and focus on key hazardous and energetic ingredients used by our customers. Leveraging our expertise, established customer relationships, and selectively providing difficult to handle hazardous materials gives UTEC a special position in the market, which would be difficult for competitors to duplicate.
