History edit

UPECA Technologies, the parent company, was incorporated in 1990. UPECA Aerotech was established in 2005 in order to support the Malaysian government's aspirations to develop the nation's aerospace manufacturing industry.[7] Senior plc, a United Kingdom maker of parts for the aircraft and the vehicle industries, bought UPECA Technologies in order to expand its business in the growing Asian market.[8]
