The activity of the ULMA Group companies has always been technical and industrial. Women, in general, have been less present, as they also have on the management and representation bodies.

This issue contains the first of two reports that we have produced on this subject, with the testimonies of two women who have had major roles on this journey.
The ULMA Group's businesses are industrial and, therefore, we usually say that they are typically male cooperatives. Only 20% of the people who work in the different cooperatives are women.
