Dear Subscriber,


Being a member of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in South Africa has been an incredible experience for me over the years. The welcoming and fun atmosphere, informative speakers at our events, diverse businesses, dedicated board of directors and volunteers, community events, and expanding opportunities for our members, have all had a feeling of growth and prosperity, even during difficult times. 

I look forward to continuing the Chamber's history of connecting the network of businesses and our local officials to develop our community. Amplifying the growth that we've experienced and the value that our members are producing is something that I am thrilled to advance as we move into the future.

Broaden your network by engaging more with the SCC and its Executive Committee. Let us help you showcase your value by contributing your voice to a shared objective of increasing the business exposure and opportunities we have to offer at the Spanish Chamber of Commerce RSA. 


Jose Maria Segurola, President of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce RSA and the Spanish Chamber Team.

Welcome to UMS Group

UMS Group (United Mining Services), has its origins in the South African mining sector but serves global mining and minerals processing clientele with turnkey solutions that stretch across the entire mining and associated infrastructure value chain from concept studies through to mine and process plant design, construction, commissioning, ramp-up and operation.

Through its acquisition of METS (Mining Engineering Technical Services). and Shaft Sinkers, UMS Group gained industry expertise that spans more than six decades and incorporates the assets, resources and intellectual property of both companies. Our expert personnel include professional engineers (mining, mechanical, electrical, C&I, civil and structural), design engineers, project engineers and project managers, sinking specialists, project planners and schedulers, natural scientists (geology and rock mechanics) as well as experts in project control and procurement.

The UMS Group differentiator lies in our ability to deliver a full turnkey service to our clients under a single roof for both new and existing projects. Through services of the Shaft Sinkers and METS brands, we are able to provide a seamless and integrated ability to execute projects cost effectively and without compromising quality.

Although the Group has built its reputation through the mining sector, we can undertake any project requiring tunnelling expertise and construction of underground facilities. Due to our expertise in this field, our client base extends beyond the mining fraternity and includes the hydro, roads and tunnelling sectors. The addition of METS Projects to our stable enables us to broaden our turn-key service offerings to the minerals processing sector.
