Built on Trust, Driven by Quality.
UM-Global Supplies is a Sandton-based trading company connecting global suppliers with businesses across South Africa and beyond — delivering quality products across 16+ categories with reliability at our core.
From Local Roots to Global Reach
UM-Global Supplies was founded with a clear purpose: to make high-quality, globally sourced products accessible to businesses of all sizes in South Africa and across the continent.
Operating from our base in Woodmead, Sandton, we have built a trusted network of international suppliers and local partners spanning agriculture, chemicals, food, beverages, industrial goods and more.
Today, we serve a diverse client base — from large-scale agricultural operations and food manufacturers to retailers and distributors — all united by the need for a reliable, competitively priced supply partner.
Our Mission
To bridge the gap between world-class global suppliers and South African businesses — delivering consistent quality, competitive pricing, and dependable service across every product category we carry.
Our Vision
To be the most trusted multi-category trading partner in Southern Africa, recognised for our integrity, product quality, and the long-term relationships we build with every client.
