UMAR-WSR was founded in 2000 to offer superior maritime products and services to ship owners and ship management companies. From its modest beginnings, UMAR-WSR evolved from strength to strength throughout the first decade of its existence, with an expanding series of acclaimed principles and a parade of dry docks to match its outstanding service performance. In 2008 the company was rewarded with the Innovation Award of the Cyprus Employers and Industrialists Federation, in recognition of its Online Information System (U.O.L.I.S.), which enables continuous project handling information to its customers. If the company had a mission statement in those days, it could not have been expressed more eloquently than, “To offer a level of service and commitment to their clients, without compromise”. These words are just as relevant today as they continue to reflect its beliefs, actions and ambitions for the future. Located in Limassol, Cyprus, UMAR-WSR maintains its dedication to offering premium quality maritime products and services to professionals anywhere and at any time, globally.

Umar’s philosophy is to ensure that everything it offers, every principal it represents, reflects its brand’s emphasis on quality and high service standards. It is with this philosophy in mind that the company carefully selects its principals and, in a manner of speaking, why they, choose UMAR-WSR to represent them. Today, Umar represents over 30 of the world’s leading manufacturers of maritime equipment. Engine room machinery, desk machinery, bridge equipment, hull machinery, cargo handling, accommodation equipment and safety equipment are the categories of UMAR.
