Our story 

It is important for us to provide long-term and reliable service to our customers.

We develop our operations on a long-term basis 

Ubitec Oy was born from customer needs and the combined expertise of the founding partners in the early 2010s. The founding shareholders are still involved in the company’s operations to this day and are committed to moving operations forward in the long term. 

In 2021, we joined the Finnish family-owned WEST Invest Group. Today, ownership is mainly divided between the founding partners and WEST Invest Group. 

It is important for us to provide long-term and reliable service to our customers. We constantly develop our services together with our customers. Our company’s vision is to be the number one choice and most trusted partner for our customers.
