Sistemas Integrales De Manejo Ambiental Sima Ltda

What Sistemas Integrales De Manejo Ambiental Sima Ltda does

Sistemas Integrales De Manejo Ambiental SIMA Ltda is a privately held Colombian limited liability company (Sociedad Limitada, NIT 860.091.575-2) constituted on May 20, 1986, and headquartered at Calle 128 # 54 - 32, Bogotá D.C. The company integrates civil engineering, environmental engineering, and forestry services for Colombian public-sector buyers (SDA, IDRD, CAR, district Alcaldías) and select private-sector clients in petroleum (Ecopetrol, Occidental Petroleum) and utilities (EAAB, GEB). It operates across five core service lines: civil works, environmental consulting, hydroseeding, silvicultural management, and a proprietary wood-fiber mulch product line.

The company's technical differentiator is its pioneer status in Colombian hydroseeding — high-pressure mechanical projection of seeds, fertilizers, tackifiers, and vegetal substrate for slope stabilization on roadsides and oil-extraction sites — supplemented by a 100% thermally refined wood-fiber mulch product family (EcoFibre, EcoFibre Plus Tackifier, EcoMatrix) that the company claims covers the same area using 20-30% of the volume of cellulose mulches. Civil works capabilities span erosion-control infrastructure, gabions, mechanically stabilized earth walls, jarillones, aqueduct/sewer networks, and public-space parks.

SIMA generates revenue through fixed-unit-price and exhaustible-amount public-works contracts awarded via Colombian procurement, supplemented by professional-services fees for environmental consulting (Environmental Impact Studies, Compensation Plans, PTAR design) and unit-priced bagged mulch sales. Headcount, revenue, and cap-table details are not publicly disclosed, and the company shows no evidence of venture, private-equity, or strategic-investor involvement.
