Just in time for this school year, the UMI team in Santa Fe Springs came together to donate some much needed school supplies to the community.
Senior Project Coordinator, Barbara Millette, helped rally our staff members making this, âa whole company effort.â
After a huge response from our team, we collected around 8 boxes of school supplies! Luis, our Warehouse Lead, helped bring them to the drop-off center.
âWhen we walked in with 2 dollies full and still had to go back for another load. Everyone did a double take and they were so grateful for our contribution,” said Millette.
The city and Mayor of Santa Fe Springs thanked us for donating to Department of Services/Family and Human Services Divisionâs annual Back to School Backpack program.
We are happy to support our staffâs commitment to give back, partnering with several great charities and organizations that enrich the communities where we live and work.
Friday afternoon we celebrated crews with our 25th Annual Labor Appreciation Party. Our employees got together for some tacos and raffle prizes, along side a celebration for our company’s 40th anniversary. Thank you to everyone who came. #universalmetro #lasmallbusiness #laborappreciation

How do you push the boundaries on a gallery space? For artist Michael Reeder, creating a fully immersive 360 experience with carpet tile was just the answer. In collaboration with Milliken’s national designers, their Los Angeles-based sales team, and our team of project managers and installation mechanics, Milliken’s DDI process was engaged to create a custom, patterned carpet tile that would extend the canvas beyond the showpiece to the floors and walls that surround it. To do so, the custom carpet tile needed to be as bold and as the artwork itself, and the installation had to be as precise and meticulous as the artist’s showcased work.
In a June 2019 Floor Focus Magazine article, Universal Metro’s President participated in a panel discussion with three other Starnet Commercial Flooring Contractors regarding new opportunities and challenges facing the modern-day flooring contractor.
