ULMA Handling Systems
“Spanish cooperative BHS integrator, Daifuku technology partner.”
Company brief
ULMA Handling Systems is a Spanish intralogistics engineering company headquartered in Oñati, Gipuzkoa (Basque Country), specialising in automated baggage handling systems and broader logistics automation across multiple sectors. In the airport segment, ULMA designs, manufactures, and integrates complete end-to-end baggage handling systems, covering the full value chain from check-in conveyor belts through inspection, sorting, automated storage, and reclaim carousels.
The company operates a 7,000 m² production and prototype centre equipped with CAD/CAM systems, laser sheet metal cutting with automatic feed, precision folding machines, and computer numerical control (CNC) machinery. This in-house manufacturing capability enables ULMA to control costs and maintain quality across its product range. The company also provides its proprietary Baggage Control System (BCS) software for supervision and control.
ULMA's airport solutions are modular and adaptable to domestic and international airport sizes. A named reference installation includes Malaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), where ULMA completed an adaptation of the Security Inline Early Baggage (SIEB) system to new EDS Standard 3 inspection machines. The company positions itself as a global supplier with local support capability, and claims presence in airports worldwide, though specific GCC installations were not named on the website. ULMA collaborates with what it describes as a world leader in technology and innovation, though no partner name is explicitly stated on the publicly accessible pages.
Beyond aviation, ULMA serves food and beverage, pharmaceutical, retail, logistics operators, fashion, and general industry sectors. The company has more than 400 professionals on staff.
