On May 8, Ultrahuman, a smart ring manufacturer, announced that all U.S. orders would be fulfilled from its facility in Texas. The company, known for the Ultrahuman Air ring, plans to expand its Plano, Texas factory, which began operations in November 2024.
The “UltraFactory,” a collaboration with U.S.-based SVtronics, aims to increase annual manufacturing capacity to 500,000 units to meet U.S. demand. Ultrahuman intends for this facility to handle all U.S. orders. The company communicated that domestic production ensures faster shipping, improved service, and enhanced reliability for U.S. consumers.
This decision aligns with broader industry disruptions caused by tariffs, which have affected the pricing of tech products manufactured abroad. However, Ultrahuman clarified that the factory expansion is not driven by tariff concerns.
A company representative highlighted that U.S. manufacturing enables closer collaboration with the health and military sectors to develop both hardware and software tailored to the U.S. market.
The Ultrahuman ring, comparable to the Oura Ring, is recognized among the best smart rings, offering similar features at a more affordable price. With a cost of $349, it matches the cheapest Oura model but does not require a monthly membership for full feature access.
Mohit Kumar, founder and CEO of Ultrahuman, stated, “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.”
