Uni Americas Llc.

What Uni Americas Llc. does

Uni Americas LLC, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Slidell, Louisiana, is a privately held provider of marine tank and hold cleaning chemicals, equipment, and remote cleaning support services serving the commercial shipping and maritime industry. The company's product portfolio spans marine-grade cleaning chemicals (including proprietary branded lines Careclean Xcellerate VO and Eco-Solve), hold cleaning equipment such as high-pressure washers and chemical application kits, NOx/SOx scrubber water-treatment solutions for emissions regulatory compliance, and specialty chemical formulations. In 2022, Uni Americas was acquired by Netherlands-based Marine Care Group and rebranded as Marine Care Americas, gaining access to a parent-group distribution network with operational offices in Rotterdam, Singapore, Miami, and Bergen plus 90+ global stock points for maritime customers.

Marine Care Americas operates a B2B industrial chemicals business model, selling quote-based chemical and equipment solutions directly to vessel operators, tankers, and shipowners through the Marine Care Group's global sales network. The company differentiates through a bundled offering that pairs specialty chemistries with exclusive FleetCare support services, including remote and onboard cleaning assistance and access to a Tank Wash Simulation Unit for crew training and cleaning-plan optimization. The vertical customer segment is commercial maritime, with pain points centered on cargo tank contamination, hold residue removal, and IMO-driven emissions compliance.

The entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marine Care Group (Marine Care BV) with no independent public financials, no disclosed funding history, and a headcount of 11-50 employees. Geographic operations span North America (Slidell and Miami), Europe (Rotterdam, Bergen), and Asia-Pacific (Singapore) through parent-group infrastructure. The business generates revenue through direct industrial sales of chemicals and equipment supplemented by service contracts under the FleetCare umbrella; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
