About Us

The company name, Plūs Ultré, is extracted from the Latin phrase "ne plus ultra" (nee-plus-UL-truh), meaning the "highest point, as of excellence or achievement; the acme; the pinnacle; the ultimate or the most profound degree of a quality or condition."

The Pillars of Hercules, for example, were literally the nec plus ultra of the ancient Mediterranean world. Charles V's heraldic emblem reversed this idea, using a depiction of this phrase inscribed on the Pillars— as "plus ultra", without the negation. This represented Spain's expansion into the New World.

The phrase can be found in Hall of Mexuar at La Alhambra in Granada, Spain, signifying the ultimate point during the Moorish reign in Spain. Plūs Ultré represents our thinking and our way of doing business: we are constantly moving towards the ultimate achievement.

We aim to promote the best interests of our clients by providing hands-on service and customized solutions.
