Ultimate Technologies Inc. is an Engineering Service Provider (ESP) offering specialized technical services for advanced electronics development. Established in February 2000, the company focuses on providing seamless support from proposal and analysis to design and evaluation, operating under the slogan "Right the first time DESIGN". Their core services include electronic equipment design, manufacturing, and evaluation; printed circuit board (PCB) design; and comprehensive simulation and analysis covering signal and power integrity, noise, and thermal issues. Ultimate Technologies serves clients in demanding industries such as automotive, advanced medical appliances, aerospace, and digital entertainment.
The company's business model is centered on providing engineering and consulting services. This involves schematic and board design, coupled with advanced simulations using a suite of industry-standard software like ANSYS, Cadence, and HSPICE to validate designs and resolve complex issues like electromagnetic interference (EMI) and thermal management. They also operate an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) lab to conduct testing and measurements. In May 2023, Katolec Corporation, a global EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) provider, acquired an 83.7% stake in Ultimate Technologies, aiming to create an integrated service that spans from initial product development and prototyping to mass production and manufacturing.
The company was founded in Nagano, Japan, and has expanded its presence with satellite offices in Yokohama and Nagoya, and an overseas affiliate, Ultimate Technologies Asia Sdn. Bhd., in Malaysia. Teppei Ikeda was appointed CEO in 2024, succeeding Atsushi Nakamura who became CTO. Ikeda has a background in mechanical engineering and previously engaged in research at JAXA before joining UTI, where he has been involved in design, analysis, and technology strategy.
