Ultrahuman to Process All U.S. Orders from Texas Facility
On May 8, Ultrahuman, a prominent manufacturer of smart rings, revealed that it will now process all U.S. orders from its facility in Plano, Texas. The firm, recognized for its Ultrahuman Air smart ring, is enhancing its domestic manufacturing capabilities to better cater to American clients.
The Plano site, referred to as the “UltraFactory,” was inaugurated in November 2024 in collaboration with the U.S.-based electronics company SVtronics. Ultrahuman intends to boost production at this location to an annual output of 500,000 units, with the goal of satisfying the increasing demand within the U.S. market.
“By producing rings domestically, the company is ensuring quicker shipping, improved service, and greater reliability for U.S. consumers,” Ultrahuman stated in a press release.
This decision arrives during a period when tariffs are affecting the tech sector, raising prices on products produced abroad—such as laptops, chargers, and GPUs. However, Ultrahuman clarified that its strategy to expand domestic production is not influenced by tariffs. Instead, the company views local manufacturing as a strategic benefit for closer collaboration with U.S. health and military sectors, enabling the creation of both hardware and software designed for American users.
The Ultrahuman Air competes strongly with the Oura Ring, presenting a comparable design and set of features. Though the app experience could see improvements, the Ultrahuman ring distinguishes itself through its affordability and transparent pricing. Priced at $349, it aligns with the base cost of the Oura Ring but does not necessitate a monthly subscription to access its complete range of features.
Mohit Kumar, Ultrahuman’s founder and CEO, highlighted the advantages of this new production approach: “The UltraFactory in Plano, Texas, enables us to deliver products more rapidly, improve quality control, and further reinforce our dedication to American consumers by providing them with state-of-the-art health technology.”
