About Us
COMPANY PROFILE
Founded in Singapore in 2016, Universal Overseas began as a coal trader and has since built a strong global presence in the sector. The company has expanded into related commodities such as coke, manganese ore, and iron ore.
It has also diversified into agricultural products like wheat, rice, beans, and edible oils—traded in bulk and containers. Additionally, Universal Overseas has invested in a range of businesses across various commodity and service sectors, supporting its vision for sustainable, diversified growth.
At Universal Overseas, customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do.
