UMG Myanmar
UMG is a group of companies founded in Myanmar in 1998. We first entered the local market in 1998 trading generator sets and heavy equipment parts. As a result of our efforts and virtue, UMG has earned customers’ trust and 50% national market share within a few years, giving us market opportunities to expand our business to 9 divisions and more than 40 subsidiaries. The
UMG is widely recognized as the largest distributor of agricultural tractors and trucks, power generation and industrial systems, logistics, motorcycles, trucks and buses, remanufacturing, construction, concrete equipment and consumer goods. With more than 50 branches throughout Myanmar and eight offices in seven Southeast Asian countries, UMG continues to grow to become one of the leading companies in Myanmar with more than 3,000 employees.
Our passion for building meaningful businesses has made us one of the main pillars of Myanmar’s economy. Our values and culture make us strong. Our constant pursuit of excellence leads to the success and loyalty of our customers, and keeps us humble as we continue to grow.
As a top class company in Myanmar, we conduct business in a way that is sure to bring prosperity to the people of Myanmar.
