Connecting global metal producers with European industry.
United Management International connects qualified international producers of aluminium and steel products with European industrial customers — combining technical knowledge of metallic materials with an in-depth understanding of the European market.
Market Development
Technical Expertise
International Sourcing
We help international producers develop new business in Europe — and give European manufacturers access to reliable, competitive global supply.
Developing the European market requires more than finding potential customers. It requires an understanding of local industries, technical requirements, applications, purchasing practices and commercial expectations.
Choosing a raw-material supplier involves considerably more than comparing prices. UMI brings both sides together — with the technical and commercial expertise to make the relationship work.
