What Mariana does

Mariana S.A. is an Argentine privately held manufacturer of workwear, safety footwear, tactical apparel, medical uniforms, and personal protective equipment, headquartered in Mendoza with production facilities in Mendoza, San Juan, La Rioja, Chilecito, and Chepes. The company operates a multi-brand portfolio comprising owned brands (OMBÚ, GRAFA 70, FAR WEST, PEGASO, 3 GORDITOS) and an exclusive Argentine manufacturing license for the Italian LOTTO WORKS safety footwear brand since 2019. Its product portfolio spans certified industrial safety footwear, work coveralls, pants, shirts, uniforms, lab coats, biosafety equipment (masks, disposable coveralls, surgical gowns), and tactical clothing for Argentine security forces, with proprietary fabric technologies including flame retardant, water repellent, chemical agent resistance, antibacterial, anti-odor, and recycled polyester (Ecopet) treatments. The company is certified to IRAM and ISO 9001/14001/45001 standards.

Mariana's business model centers on B2B direct sales to Argentine government security forces (Army, Air Force, Prefectura Naval, Federal Police, Gendarmería, Firefighters, PSA) and private industrial and healthcare enterprises, supplemented by retail showrooms and a WordPress-based e-commerce storefront at marianaombu.com.ar for SMB and individual consumers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, typical of bulk institutional procurement. The company employs 600+ workers and maintains four regional sales offices in Mendoza, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Rosario, plus dedicated B2B sales representatives targeting government and enterprise accounts. Distribution is entirely domestic (Argentina), though the company participates in the A+A Düsseldorf international occupational safety trade fair. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public shareholders.
