Key purveyors : steel and logistics
Stainless steel is a must for exhaust system manufacturing , and every material must comply with clients ’ fabrication demand . Because this material is scarce locally , UMO imports 304 and 436 type stainless steel from plants in Brazil , Mexico , Corea and Germany .
Another important partner for UMO is its local logistics supplier , a reliable ally to bring raw materials into the country on schedule .
