UTE participated as the Platinum Sponsor of the AMCHAM Ball 2026, bringing together our engineering solutions across power generation, material handling, construction, mining equipment, and industrial technology.

Organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka (AmCham SL), the event brought together leaders and professionals from across the business community, while continuing AmCham SL’s role in strengthening trade, investment and commercial relations between Sri Lanka and the United States.

At the event, UTE showcased Caterpillar® Generators and Caterpillar® Forklifts, representing our commitment to delivering dependable engineering solutions that help businesses operate efficiently and with confidence.
 

We had an absolute blast as UTE celebrated Children's Day with our annual Art Competition, Certificate and Prize Awarding Ceremony!
Now in its 3rd consecutive year, this event was bigger, brighter, and more exciting than ever. It was heartwarming to see our UTE family - staff, parents, and bright young minds come together to create unforgettable memories.

In addition to celebrating young artistic talent, we were proud to present a special recognition award to an outstanding student who achieved 9 A's in the G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) examinations, celebrating both creative expression and academic excellence. 🎓🏆
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the entire UTE Family for coming together, supporting one another, and making this celebration a resounding success. 

To all the talented kids who participated and the proud parents who cheered them on: thank you for safely filling our day with color, pride and joy!
