ULMA Construction strengthens its international growth with a new UK subsidiary
The opening of ULMA Construction's new subsidiary in Westerham, United Kingdom, marks another important milestone in the company's international growth strategy, reinforcing our commitment to providing a close, responsive and high-quality service through a trusted team dedicated to the success of its customers' and partners'.
This commitment to building long lasting relationships and gaining first-hand knowledge of the needs and challenges faced by construction professionals has led ULMA to establish a presence in more than 50 countries, primarily through its own subsidiaries, complemented by an extensive network of distributors and commercial offices.
With more than 65 years of international experience in the development, manufacture and supply of scaffolding, shoring and formwork solutions, ULMA Construction has established itself as one of the world's leading companies in the construction industry.
Global expertise, local commitment
Being close to customers also means understanding the unique characteristics and specific requirements of each local market. It involves working closely with companies, organisations and professional associations that are firmly rooted in their respective countries and committed to their sustainable growth and development. One such organisation is the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), the UK's leading trade association for the scaffolding and temporary access industry, which ULMA joined earlier this year. Established in 1945, NASC is widely recognised as the industry's leading authority on safety, quality and best practice within the British scaffolding sector. ULMA's decision to become a member reflects the strong alignment between the company's values and NASC's mission to promote the highest professional standards across the industry.
ULMA Construction will be at ScaffEx26
Taking place in Manchester on 10–11 September, the exhibition will bring together professionals from across the industry, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the exhibition area, attend a comprehensive conference programme and take part in the prestigious Scaffolding Excellence Awards ceremony, one of the sector's most highly regarded industry events.
Given that ScaffEx26 provides the ideal setting to announce the opening of its new UK subsidiary and showcase its portfolio of scaffolding solutions tailored to the needs of the British construction industry, ULMA will exhibit at the event at Stand C80, occupying a 130 m² exhibition space. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover a selection of BRIO temporary access solutions, including the CTE Public Stair Tower, the Aluminium Stair Tower, the BRIO Truss, and the BRIO Façade Scaffolding System. In addition to welcoming visitors and providing technical advice throughout the exhibition, ULMA will play an active role in the event as a sponsor of two of ScaffEx26's flagship attractions: the Demo Zone and the prestigious Scaffolding Excellence Awards ceremony.
BRIO Ringlock Scaffolding System, the right solution for every market
The UK subsidiary will focus on the sale of BRIO Ringlock Scaffold, bringing to the British market a solution that combines simplicity, versatility and high performance.
The success and strong reputation of the scaffolding solutions that ULMA will supply through its new UK subsidiary are designed and manufactured on a simple, easy-to-assemble system. Based on standard, interchangeable components, the system can be configured for a wide range of applications, delivering outstanding versatility, efficiency and productivity on site.
For example, BRIO Façade Scaffolding provides a safe and efficient solution for both new-build developments and refurbishment, maintenance and renovation projects. It creates a secure working environment by providing reliable perimeter access around buildings of all types. The BRIO Ringlock Scaffolding System also offers an ideal solution for reinforcement fixing and concrete works on walls, columns and slabs at height through the creation of BRIO working platforms. In addition, it can be configured as a heavy-duty shoring structure to support formwork systems during concrete construction. The same versatility makes BRIO working Platforms an excellent solution for maintenance, refurbishment and expansion works in demanding industrial environments such as power plants, mining operations and shipyards.
Another example of the system's flexibility and cost-effectiveness is its ability to create BRIO temporary access solutions, including stair towers and pedestrian walkways, providing safe access and circulation for both workers and the public. These solutions are widely used across a broad range of projects, including building construction, civil engineering, refurbishment, industrial facilities, energy infrastructure and even temporary structures for events.
