Ultragen joins Seneca to drive industrial engineering forward.
ULTRAGEN was founded over 33 years ago by two highly recognized engineers in their respective fields: Khac Trong Truong, Ph.D., P.Eng., a mechanical engineer, and Steve Surveyer, P.Eng., a process engineer. From the very beginning, the company built a strong reputation in the Quebec industry for its expertise in mechanics, piping, and process engineering.
With a team of experienced professionals and a strong focus on delivering high-quality services at the best possible cost—without compromising operational safety for its clients—ULTRAGEN has become one of the most respected consulting engineering firms in Quebec, working in the natural resources, renewable energy, and industrial sectors.
In 2024, ULTRAGEN reached a new milestone by merging with Seneca, a leading engineering firm specializing in industrial process transformation. This strategic alliance brings together the expertise and know-how of both companies to offer even more innovative solutions tailored to the industry's challenges. Together, ULTRAGEN and Seneca are combining their strengths to drive industrial engineering to new heights.
