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

Mother Nature holds nothing back when it comes to storms. It can sometimes take years for people to recover from hurricanes and tropical storms and the resulting flooding. Some of the most difficult installation challenges arise in the wake of natural disasters. And when water is present, these projects must be approached carefully and systematically. If not, subsequent failure is highly likely.

Access floors have come of age. In the 1960âs, raised access floors were a necessary evil for main frame computer rooms. These spaces needed a flexible flooring system for wire and cable management, and the natural plenum created under the floor was also used to distribute air to cool computers and other equipment. The floors were more functional than attractive, unless you loved the industrial look. Today, the âinformation generationâ demands connectivity everywhere in the workspace and the flooring industry has responded with access floors that have more benefits, versatility, options and better aesthetics. The new generation of access floors contributes to high performance building designs because the floors integrate features ranging from efficient HVAC distribution at occupant level to modular plug-and-play systems located at individual work stations. This Starlog showcases access flooring â the innovative choice for office, medical, education, high-tech and historical buildings.

Without a doubt, it is simpler, faster and more cost effective to install new flooring under office systems using a professional lift system than to do the same job by dismantling and reassembling furniture, using jerry rigged tools not designed for the job and employing extra labor. And yet, a surprising number of facility managers either donât know about, or donât take advantage of flooring companies that use todayâs professional lift systems.
