UTG Optics
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.
