Ultrahuman aims to make all US ring orders in America

-


On May 8, Ultrahuman, the smart ring maker, announced plans to fulfill all U.S. orders out of its Texas-based facility. The tech company, which makes the Ultrahuman Air ring, plans to expand its Plano, Texas, factory, which opened in November 2024.

The “UltraFactory” is a partnership with U.S.-based SVtronics and has plans to expand annual manufacturing capacity to 500,000, meeting U.S. demand. This is part of Ultrahuman’s goal to have the factory fulfill all U.S. orders. In a press release, the company stated, “By producing rings domestically, the company is ensuring faster shipping, better service, and increased reliability for U.S. consumers.”

It’s a well-timed move as tariffs disrupt the tech industry. Foreignly manufactured products like Framework laptops, Anker chargers, and Nvidia GPUs have all seen price hikes due to components and devices being made in China or other countries impacted by President Trump’s tariffs. The smart rings manufactured at the Ultra Factory in Plano, Texas, will not face tariffs. But the motivation to expand the U.S. factory is not tariffs-based, according to the company.

A representative from Ultrahuman said that manufacturing in the U.S. allows the company to work more closely with the U.S. health and military sectors to craft hardware and not just software for its U.S. customer base.

The Ultrahuman ring is a popular alternative to the Oura Ring and is among the best smart rings we’ve tested at Mashable. It has a similar design and is equipped with many of the same features as the Oura Ring. While it’s not without its faults, like a buggy app UX, it is a more affordable smart ring. All Ultrahuman Air rings cost $349, the same price as the cheapest Oura model. Ultrahuman rings also don’t require a monthly membership to access their full range of features, like Oura’s do.

Mohit Kumar, founder and CEO of Ultrahuman, said, “The UltraFactory in Plano, Texas, allows us to deliver products faster, enhance quality control, and further strengthen our commitment to American consumers to bring them cutting-edge health technology.”
