About UTG
UTG (Under the Gun) was founded in 1992 by David Ding, who started the business in his garage in Livonia, Michigan.
The company made its first sale of a 4X28 scope in 1992, marking the beginning of what would become a global operation.
From a garage startup, UTG evolved into an international business spanning the globe with manufacturing and distribution facilities in four different countries.
By 2019, the company headquarters consisted of a 3-building complex with over 150,000 square feet in Livonia, Michigan.
Today, UTG continues to innovate with their lifetime warranty promise and commitment to providing high-quality optics and tactical accessories for shooters worldwide.
