From the amount of 230 million, orders from international markets account for 62% of the total, while the remaining 38% comes from domestic companies.
The projects obtained by ULMA Handling Systems correspond to leading companies in their sectors such as the French retail chains Intermarché and Systeme U, the dental material company Proclinic, the cheese producer Entrepinares, the hardware distributor Elhis, the meat company Industrías Cárnicas Tello, the French bakery Bridor, the Argentinean paper company Samseng or the distributor of nautical engines and components Recambios Marinos, among others.
In particular, the agreement reached with Intermarché has come about through an intralogistics automation project for the company LUG, belonging to the supermarket group. On the other hand, the Argentinean paper company Samseng, producer of the well-known "Elegante" brand, has chosen ULMA Handling Systems to automate its intralogistics service, a project that will allow the company to maximise its productivity and flexibility ratios. In addition to all these contracts, it has signed another with the Toledo-based food company Cárnicas Tello, consisting of the construction of a second automatic warehouse.

Innovation, partnerships with suppliers and the value of engineering work to provide customised solutions are the key factors that define and position ULMA Handling Systems as a benchmark in the market“, added Juan Jesús Alberdi.
