Ultrahuman’s Smart Ring to be Made in US Manufacturing Facility

The Ultrahuman company is set to revolutionize the smart ring market with the launch of its cutting-edge UltraFactory. This state-of-the-art facility will provide an end-to-end production capability, building on the success of the company's first operational model in India. The move follows a significant $35 million investment in Ultrahuman during a series B funding round, signaling the company's ambition to dominate the smart ring space within the next 12 to 15 months.

With the opening of the new UltraFactory, Ultrahuman will boost its production capacity by 200,000 smart rings, creating an additional $100 million revenue opportunity annually. This strategic expansion is a key step towards establishing market leadership in the US, a region of growing importance for the company.

One of Ultrahuman's key strengths lies in its ability to make substantial long-term manufacturing investments, underpinned by its profitability. The UltraFactory's advanced production capabilities will allow Ultrahuman to leverage its competitive edge in fast product development and iteration, as well as rapid market deployment on a global scale.

The move to establish UltraFactory in the US not only benefits Ultrahuman but also aligns with the US government's efforts to bolster domestic manufacturing. By reducing shipping costs and logistics expenses, the company aims to contribute to the strengthening of local manufacturing capabilities. This initiative is expected to result in the hiring of 150 new Ultrahuman employees in the US over the next year, focusing on engineering, research, and commercial operations.

Mohit Kumar, the Founder and CEO of Ultrahuman, expressed enthusiasm about the company's expansion into the US market, highlighting the opportunities for manufacturing and research. "UltraFactory US will facilitate the production of health tracking smart ring devices and support our ongoing research efforts to enhance product design," Kumar stated.

Ultrahuman's remarkable growth trajectory over the past year has positioned it as the second-largest player in the smart ring market while maintaining profitability. Kumar emphasized the company's vision of becoming the top player in terms of active devices and global presence, a goal that seems achievable with the rapid expansion facilitated by UltraFactory.

Furthermore, UltraFactory will enable Ultrahuman to strengthen its retail presence across 150 outlets worldwide, including prestigious locations like London's Selfridges, Changi Airport in Singapore, and the Virgin megastore in Dubai. Alongside the popular Ring AIR smart ring, Ultrahuman offers a diverse product suite encompassing health monitoring devices such as M1 Live, Ultrahuman Home, and Blood Vision, catering to various aspects of personal health and wellness.

Emphasizing the company's commitment to user experience, Kumar highlighted Ultrahuman's frequent firmware and software updates, setting them apart in the market. The company's agile approach to hardware and software development, exemplified by devices like Ultrahuman Home, reflects their dedication to innovation and excellence.

Looking ahead, Ultrahuman is on track to surpass $100 million in annualized revenue run rate by the end of 2024, a significant milestone that underscores the company's sustainable growth strategy. Kumar reiterated the importance of long-term investments in manufacturing and research, emphasizing Ultrahuman's dedication to scientific validation and innovation.

As Ultrahuman continues to push the boundaries of health technology, its commitment to excellence and relentless pursuit of innovation position it as a key player in the evolving smart ring market. With UltraFactory driving production efficiency and market expansion, Ultrahuman is poised to lead the industry towards a future of advanced health monitoring solutions.
