In 2007, Ultratec Special Effects acquired what would become our pyrotechnic manufacturing division. This acquisition allowed Ultratec to provide a complete range of close proximity pyrotechnics and atmospheric effects.

Our pyro research & development team in Alabama, creates and manufactures new pyro products using our Angelfire® Technology providing an unmatched range of pyro colors. Additionally, they developed the Low Smoke Lift™ System to reduce smoke lift by up to 90%, an essential need for pyro used during close proximity, indoors or live television events.

In 2012, we added operation facilities in Frankfurt, Germany allowing us to service our customers and expand the footprint of our business throughout the European market.

Most recently, our special effects research and development team in Ontario, Canada developed and began manufacturing the world’s most durable and dependable low fog machine, the Eclipse. The Eclipse has already proven the consistent ability to develop a wide range of dramatic low fog effects.

While Ultratec has grown to have facilities in London, Ontario, Canada, Huntsville, Alabama, Groveland (Orlando), Florida and Frankfurt, Germany one tradition has not changed: exceeding the expectations of our customers. We continue to manufacture our special effects and pyro products at our facilities in North America ensuring the consistency and quality our customers have always been able to rely on.

Today, our four facilities combined with a dealer network stretching across continents allowing us to serve our customers on a global scale.

That’s why Ultratec continues to be the industry leading manufacturer of pyrotechnics and special effects.
