USTC is a family-owned global group that has traded and transported energy and commodities since 1876. They operate in some of the world’s largest markets – yet wanted a digital presence that felt as accessible and human as the values the company is built on.
Our task was to modernize USTC’s digital universe without making it overly corporate. The result is a UX/UI experience defined by clear communication, global accessibility, and a human-centered approach that strengthens the group’s identity.
The platform is built on our Enterprise WordPress with a headless frontend, enabling the MarCom team to finally publish news, stories, and updates in real time – quickly, intuitively, and securely.
We also created a centralized career hub that gathers all job openings across the group, making it easier for candidates to navigate and for USTC to attract the right talent.
The technical architecture and premium infrastructure support USTC’s ambition to lead progress in a transforming industry. The solution is both an expression of – and an active tool in – their ongoing digital transformation.

“Collaborating with Checkmate has been a pleasure. They took the time to understand who we are and what we wanted to achieve, creating a website that truly represents USTC. The team are always ready to jump in and discuss new ideas along the way.”
