OUR STORY

Why We Started ULMA

We founded ULMA with the belief that technology should serve real needs. Clean energy cooking isn’t just a climate solution – it’s a practical upgrade that brings dignity, safety, and independence to kitchens everywhere. That’s the kind of impact we’re proud to build.

“Innovation should always have a purpose. For us, that purpose is people. At ULMA, we don’t just engineer products – we engineer change. It’s not about technology for its own sake, but about creating tools that improve everyday life where it matters most.”
Ulf Eliasson
Founder & CEO
“After more than 20 years working with pellet systems, we saw a gap. Schools and institutions needed a solution that was safe, efficient, and easy to install — without sacrificing quality or affordability. That’s why we built the ULMACooker. We’ve designed a burner tough enough for daily use, but simple enough to work anywhere– because clean energy should be for everyone.”

Co-Owner & Technical Director
OUR STORY

From Challenge to Solution

At ULMA, we believe that clean, efficient cooking should be accessible to everyone — especially in the places where it matters most: schools, hospitals, and community kitchens.
What began as an engineering challenge quickly became a mission: to create a robust, easy-to-use pellet system that lowers costs, improves health, and fuels local economic growth.

We Build With Purpose.

Our pellet systems are crafted to meet real-world needs. Designed for local production, easy installation, and long-term durability, ULMA burners empower kitchens and communities to cook clean and sustainably.

Our Journey

ULMA started with a simple idea: clean energy cooking should be available to everyone. From early prototypes to robust industrial models, we’ve evolved with one goal in mind — to replace smoky fires with scalable solutions. Today, we’re working hand-in-hand with local

manufacturers, schools, NGOs and governments to make clean cooking a reality across Africa. Every installation brings safer kitchens, lower emissions, and stronger local economies. Every kitchen we reach is a step toward a cleaner, safer future.
