History

The U-LI Group had its humble beginnings in 1978 when it was founded under the name U-Lee Trading Company. Initially, it engaged mostly in engineering works and the trading of cable support systems. U-Lee Trading Company later began manufacturing cable support systems, albeit on a modest scale. In 1983, a private limited company known as United U-LI (M) Sdn Bhd (ULSB) was incorporated to better serve the growing demands of the Malaysian cable support systems market. In March 1997 and January 1998, United U-LI Steel Service Centre Sdn Bhd (ULSS) and Cable-Tray Industries (M) Sdn Bhd (CTSB) commenced operations to complement the principal activities of ULSB. ULSB benefited from the economic boom in the 1990s and expanded its business portfolio. In 1999, ULSB ventured into manufacturing of integrated ceiling systems to capitalise on the growing demand for integrated ceiling systems. United U-LI Corporation Berhad (ULICORP) was incorporated under the Companies Act 1965 on 11 April 2000 in Malaysia as a private limited company. It was subsequently converted into a public company on 18 April 2000. On 20 February 2002, the completion of the acquisition of ULSB, ULSS, CTSB and Gabung Mekar Sdn Bhd (GMSB) by U-LI marked the birth of the U-LI Group. This was closely followed by the incorporation of United U-LI Building Material Sdn Bhd (ULBM) on 6 January 2003. ULICORP was successfully listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange on 23 April 2002. In 2005, the Group ventured into the lighting market and established United U-Li Goodlite Sdn Bhd (ULGSB), which manufactures light fitting systems. The Group has since grown into an investment holding company with seven wholly-owned subsidiaries active in downstream steel products manufacturing, with more than 30 years of history operating in Malaysia. It manufactures and distributes steel cable support systems, cable management systems, integrated ceiling systems, fluorescent light fittings, LED products and building materials, and is among Malaysia's leading companies in cable support and management systems.
