UniqTeK Company Limited (UTCL) is a fully Lao-owned company established in 2014 under the Laws of the Lao PDR. The company specializes in supplying high-quality survey equipment, including land survey tools, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and equipment for mining, environmental, and hydropower projects. It also provides advanced surveying solutions such as aerial mapping, topographic surveys, and Geographic Information System (GIS) services.
A Trusted Partner in Infrastructure Development
UTCL has worked closely with government agencies and NGOs to modernize surveying and GIS systems. Key projects include digitizing the Vientiane water supply GIS system, supporting the Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB), and mapping the Vientiane electrical grid system. The company is also an authorized distributor of industry-leading brands such as CHC GNSS technology, Garmin GPS, ESRI’s ArcGIS, and DJI drones.
Industry Leadership and Market Domination
Under the leadership of Chandavong Southitham, UTCL has grown fourfold in the last five years. It is currently the only provider of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) in Lao PDR and holds a 90% market share in GNSS technology. Since 2016, UTCL has played a vital role in modernizing the Department of Land’s infrastructure, a process that had been stalled since 1989.
Quality Over Price Wars
Despite facing competition from lower-cost providers, UTCL remains committed to high-quality products and services. Southitham believes that customers value long-term reliability over short-term savings. By focusing on innovation, customer satisfaction, and employee development, UTCL continues to set industry benchmarks rather than engaging in price wars.
A Leader’s Vision for the Future
Southitham’s leadership philosophy is rooted in long-term success. He envisions a future where UTCL continues to drive industry modernization, expand digital solutions, and uphold international standards. His approach to business emphasizes persistence, strategic investment, and a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions for clients and stakeholders.
