Ultra Group: investing in Brazil’s energy and future
With more than 85 years of history and a trajectory marked by pioneering spirit, passion and commitment to the development of Brazil, we are proud to be present in the lives of millions of Brazilians every day.
Operating in the energy, mobility and logistics infrastructure verticals through Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Ultracargo and Hidrovias do Brasil, we combine the tradition of being the first company to distribute bottled gas in Brazil, founded by Austrian immigrant Ernesto Igel, with a passion for innovation and the future, a commitment that is constantly renewed through the eyes and ears of employees who have a deep connection with Brazil.
