What UAL Biotech Pte Ltd does

UAL Biotech Pte Ltd is a Singapore-incorporated private company, founded in 2003, that develops and sells proprietary bio-solutions — enzyme formulations, biocatalysts, probiotics, and plant-extract blends — under the registered ZYMO and XYMO brands. Its products target five customer verticals: agriculture (crop-specific formulations for palm, sugarcane, rice, tea, wheat, chili, fruits, and vegetables), aquaculture (pond bio-security and gut-health products for shrimp, fish, and prawn), animal nutrition (antibiotic-free feed supplements and probiotics for livestock and poultry), industrial processing (pulp and paper, leather, textiles), and food processing (tea, coffee, and starch/sugar applications). Technically, the company's edge is rooted in tailored enzyme/probiotic formulations rather than novel molecules: products such as ZYMO NITRIFIX neutralize ammonia in aquaculture ponds, XYMO MICROFLORA PLUS provides a probiotic-plant extract blend for gut management, and ZYMO VITA POWDER improves feed digestibility by degrading non-starch polysaccharides.

Commercially, UAL operates a B2B enterprise sales model that sells directly to large-scale farming operations, food processors, and industrial manufacturers, with the only named customer being PT Triputra Agro Persada Group in Indonesia under a strategic bio-innovation partnership. The company runs two HACCP- and ISO-certified manufacturing facilities in Chennai through wholly-owned subsidiary United Alacrity (India) Pvt Ltd, while PT United Alacrity handles Indonesia-market distribution and the Singapore office (101 Cecil Street) provides corporate and regional coordination. Products are sold on a one-time-license/per-purchase basis with no public pricing; recurring revenue depends on continuous integration of bio-solutions into customer production cycles. The portfolio is supported by a regulatory stack including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, HACCP, FSSAI approval for coffee/tea processing, and organic certifications from INDOCERT and ECO-CERT, and the company received the Steward Leadership 25 Award in 2022.
