The history of the ULMA Group rests on a culture of corporate
values. The Group is already part of the future. It’s at the forefront
of technology and optimised, state-of-the-ar t work processes.
Today, ULMA is one of the largest business groups in northern Spain,
with nearly fifty years in the market and a clear commitment to
innovation, employment and added value.
building emotions
ULMA is a young, dynamic, innovative business group
committed to its people and its surroundings. ULMA
is a people-based project. It’s a modern, professional
organisation that has opened out to an increasingly
globalised world.
socially committe
Our beginnings are closely tied to the Mondragón Cooperative Experience.
The ULMA Group is now a Division of the Industrial Group of the Mondragón
Corporación Cooperativa (MCC), the largest business group in the Basque
Country and one of the largest in Spain. It is thanks to this that ULMA benefits
from all the advantages of having started up and grown in a setting of creative
new ways to implement education, training, research and social provision.
spirit
universal outlook
ULMA seeks to build an international group that adapts to the culture of each
market and country. Our attitude is open and receptive to everyone who
works with us. We want to direct our efforts towards a new concept of the
world by fostering sustainable advantages through proactive management of
all our foreign operations. Our forward-looking internationalisation project
aims to maximise competitiveness so as to respond effectively to an increasingly
global market.
International opportunities for growth spring from looking closely at special
local features. Our strategy seeks to optimise business practices and adapt
them to the widely different foreign markets we operate in. Navigating the
flows of world information and intelligence is key to gaining a competitive
foothold in the new millennium. The world stage is now our natural market.
ideas and imaginatio
Generating a wealth of different ideas, thinking differently and imagining the
best solutions are the linchpins of the ULMA Group’s innovation dynamics.
At ULMA, we view innovation as a value that underlies all Group activities.
We seek to encourage a work environment that supports personal initiative
as an engine of change. We build settings that encourage knowledge-sharing
and develop environments like the new ULMA Group technology centres to
promote creativity in our teams and people.
To be innovative we need to be receptive, dynamic and flexible. Innovation
creates the knowledge assets on which our whole enterprise rests. Our
promotion policy therefore aims to create new jobs and wealth in our host
community. An example are the Group’s recent promotion initiatives to
develop, manufacture and install transportation and storage systems for internal
flows in the fresh food sector and the integral solutions based on Information
Systems for the logistics chain. Both have been recently created.
To advance towards a more sustainable development model, at ULMA we are
committed to creating sustainable value for the environments in which we operate.
We want to help build a fairer, healthier and more prosperous community for
both present and future generations. Our corporate strategy rests on a principle
of harmonising economic success and social prosperity with environmental value.
We pursue our commitment to sustainability through the ULMA Foundation, an
expression of our corporate social responsibility. We want to contribute to the
community in which we do business. For the people who work at ULMA, progress
means meeting our commitments to everyone who has a stake in our corporate
activity.

cooperation and c
The ULMA Group comprises four cooperative partnerships; its business is divided
into strategic business units. Our organisational model is based on diversified,
independent businesses that share a common mission, general policies and
management strategy to draw our enterprise together into a coherent whole.
The Group’s organisational structure is designed to aid the development of our
businesses while laying down a clear, flexible and adaptable framework for both
our present concerns and potential business projects.
mmitment
Our model therefore seeks to go beyond a narrow vision of businesses and
cooperatives to take forward the common project that the ULMA Group represents.
The model is built on our desire to join forces and constantly renew our commitment
to sharing this common future.
