History: Following the sale of All Wire Machinery Inc, the owner, Ulf Svensson, started Unicode Inc in 1989 for the purpose of selling complete manufacturing plants to the steel processing industry in South East Asia, capitalising on the local shortage of application engineering expertise in that area and the surplus of eningeering expertise and talent in Canada at that time.

Major contracts completed since 1991
  • relocation of an automatic machine lathe shop from West Germany to nat Steel Engineering in Singapore. The contract included sourcing of equipment, installation, start-up, and training of personnel.
  • supply of new drive motors from GE Drive Systems Group in Erie Pennsylvania to the new rolling mill at Shiu Wing Steel in Hong Kong.
  • relocation of M.I.G. Welding Wire Facility from Keycon Industries in Crawfordsville, Indiana to Electromanufacturas A/S in Bogota, Colombia
  • UNICODE has developed a new type of hydraulic press called "the Unicode Tool Actuator" used in automated production systems for deep forming of sheet metal parts.

Since 1995 the company operates a web portal http://www.wireworld.com for suppliers to the wire and cable industry.
In 2001 the company introduced a web portal http://www.wirelinks.com for suppliers of wire and cable.
Now the company is developing several initiatives which support and enhance portal development in key industry segments.
