Three ways in, all of them direct.

We do not run a call centre and we do not sell through agents. Whichever line you use, it reaches the same small commercial team in Mariara.

The main line for quotes, specifications, documentation and compliance. Written questions get written answers, which is what your file needs anyway.

Where the metal actually is.

Zona Industrial
Mariara, Carabobo
Venezuela

Mariara sits in the industrial corridor of Carabobo, between Valencia and Maracay, on 30,850 m² of land the company has owned since 1970. Puerto Cabello, Venezuela's principal commercial port, is a short drive north, which is why our loading window is measured in hours rather than days.

The nearest international airport is Arturo Michelena in Valencia. We collect visitors from there. Give us notice and the line will be running when you arrive.
