With roots dating back to 1988, UNF brings nearly four decades of experience in the coatings industry, delivering reliable coating solutions that protect assets, enhance performance and stand the test of time.
Our journey began in 1988 under the name Uniforce Engineering & Coatings Services, when we were appointed as one of the pioneering distributors of Jotun Marine Coatings in Northern Malaysia. This marked the beginning of our long-standing commitment to the coatings industry.
Over the years, we have evolved beyond the role of a conventional paint supplier. Today, UNF is a Single Source Solutions — Performance Coatings Centre, providing specialised coating solutions across a wide range of industries and applications.
From protecting vessels against harsh marine environments to safeguarding industrial structures, facilities and infrastructure against corrosion and wear, we understand that every surface has a purpose — and every project requires the right protection.
At UNF, we believe coatings are more than just a finish. They are a critical layer of protection.
They preserve assets, extend service life, improve performance and help our customers protect what matters most.
UNF Engineering & Coating Sdn Bhd provides comprehensive coating solutions across multiple specialised categories.
Our approach goes beyond supplying products. We work with our customers to understand their operating environment, project requirements and performance expectations before recommending suitable coating solutions.
By combining product expertise, technical knowledge, operational capability and industry experience, UNF provides customers with a more complete and reliable approach to surface protection.
From product selection and colour solutions to technical support and project requirements, we aim to simplify the process by providing multiple solutions through a single trusted partner.
UNF became Jotun's first authorised distributor for Marine & Protective Coatings in West Malaysia.
From corrosion protection and marine environments to industrial flooring, tank protection, powder coatings and fire protection, we continue to expand our capabilities to serve industries where performance matters.
As we move forward, UNF remains committed to strengthening our technical expertise, developing our people and delivering better solutions for the industries of tomorrow.
My career journey in the performance coatings industry began in the 1980s, when I specialised in marine coatings and learned that the ocean never compromises on coating quality.
Since the founding of UNF Engineering & Coating Sdn Bhd in 1988 as the first Jotun Marine & Protective Coatings distributor in Peninsular Malaysia, under the continuous guidance and support of Mr. Peder Bohlin, Managing Director of Jotun Malaysia and Regional Manager for Southeast Asia, we have worked together, achieved steady growth, and created many success stories with Jotun Malaysia.
With nearly 40 years of hands-on experience, the company is driven by technical know-how, disciplined application workmanship, and rigorous quality control that demonstrate strong technical capability in support of Malaysia’s industrialisation. This is why we remain committed to delivering world-class asset protection.
To our valued customers, naval architects, C&S engineers, consultants, blasting and painting contractors, and asset owners — thank you for trusting us to deliver technical excellence and lasting asset performance.
As technology evolves, we embrace AI to elevate HI (Human Intelligence), optimising performance coatings and innovation data to extend asset lifespans further into the future.
Thank you very much. Malaysia Boleh!
Behind every successful company is a team of people who share a common purpose. UNF's journey has been built upon the dedication, experience and vision of its founder — and continues to evolve through the leadership of the next generation.
Our management team combines long-standing industry knowledge with fresh perspectives and a forward-looking approach to business. Together, we are committed to building on UNF's strong heritage while preparing the company for the future.
We believe sustainable growth is not simply about becoming bigger. It is about becoming better.
As UNF continues into its next chapter, our leadership remains committed to investing in our people, strengthening our capabilities and building long-term relationships with our customers, principals and partners.
To be the trusted Performance Coatings Centre, delivering complete and sustainable solutions that protect assets, enhance performance and create lasting value.
To deliver the right coating solutions, backed by expertise, reliability and a commitment to long-term performance.
The three letters of our name carry the three commitments we hold ourselves to on every project.
We believe every customer, project and challenge is different. We take the time to understand the environment, requirements and expectations before recommending the right solution.
We do not compromise on the principles that matter. From the quality of our work to the integrity of our relationships and the safety of our people, we remain committed to doing things responsibly and professionally.
We believe progress is achieved together — with our people, customers, principals and business partners. We continuously improve, embrace new knowledge and move forward with a shared commitment to build a stronger and more sustainable future.
Our strength is built on more than the products we carry. It comes from our experience, people, technical knowledge, operational capability and long-standing industry relationships.
Since 1988, UNF has built extensive experience across Marine and Performance Coatings. Decades of industry knowledge allow us to better understand the challenges our customers face and the importance of selecting the right system for the right environment.
Multiple specialised solutions under one organisation. Marine, protective, tank lining, flooring, powder and fire protection systems are specified, supplied and supported by the same team, so one project never needs several suppliers.
Coating performance depends on more than the product itself. Surface preparation, substrate condition, environmental exposure and application requirements all play an important role. Our technical approach is guided by recognised industry practices and standards.
Our facilities and operational infrastructure enable us to support customers with reliable product availability and efficient colour solutions. With more than 40,000 litres of storage capacity and 12 tinting machines, we are equipped to support both daily operational requirements and larger project demands.
With our presence in Butterworth, Batu Kawan and Langkawi, we are strategically positioned to serve customers across Northern Malaysia.
Behind every successful project is a committed team. Our people bring together experience across sales, technical support, operations, logistics and customer service. We continue to invest in training and development because stronger people build a stronger company.
Technical knowledge and professional standards are fundamental to reliable coating performance. UNF continues to strengthen its professional capabilities, workplace practices and technical expertise.
We continue to learn, improve and strengthen our capabilities as the industries we serve continue to evolve.
