What UMIA does

UMIA S.R.L. is an Argentine industrial manufacturer of flanges and related pressure-piping components, founded in 2005 and headquartered at Benito Perez Galdos 2730/40, Quilmes Oeste, Buenos Aires Province. The company's product portfolio centers on six core flange types (Blind, Lap Joint, Threaded, Slip-on, Socket Weld, and Welding Neck) complemented by Purge Rings, 10,000 PSI API adapters, and Figure 8 / Paddle Blind pressure retention plates. Manufacturing spans diameters from 1/2" to 36" across pressure classes 150-300-600-900-1500-2500, produced in carbon steels, stainless steels, and special steels conforming to ASME dimensional standards B16.5, B16.20, and B16.47. The firm holds an IRAM-issued ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification (accredited by OAA and recognized through IQNet) maintained continuously for over 15 years and last updated in 2020.

The business operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market targeting industrial buyers in oil & gas, manufacturing, industrial construction, and pipe-fitting segments within the Buenos Aires metropolitan area (C.A.B.A., G.B.A Norte, G.B.A Sur). Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and the company emphasizes rapid quotation turnaround, permanent stock availability for immediate delivery, technical advisory on standards and materials, and post-sale claim resolution. In-house logistics assets provide direct delivery to customer facilities, construction sites, and distribution centers, which is a differentiating service element for time-sensitive industrial procurement.

UMIA is a privately held founder-owned S.R.L. (Argentine limited liability company) with no institutional investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, funding rounds, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships disclosed in available data. The company relies on a basic company website (umia.com.ar) with downloadable PDF catalogs as its primary digital presence, supplemented by direct phone and email sales contact. Customer logos and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and headcount is not reported, indicating a small-scale niche industrial operation.
