The history of Ultrasun International

Ultrasun International was founded bij Willem Fabels in 1974. He started off working from his office at home but soon needed more space and so Ultrasun opened its first office/warehouse facility in Enschede, the Netherlands, in 1975.

The first facial produced by Ultrasun was the UltraSun 1500. Many of these facials were exported across the world to be a great succes. Ultrasun was renowned for its sturdy and solid sunbeds, which Ultrasun to this day is still renowned for!

The industry started manufacturing sunbeds completely made from metal. Look at the picture to see how the sunbeds have evolved during the years. Sunbeds now have many different color options as well as different features and options to think of.

In 1984 Ultrasun Germany was founded. In Salzbergen, just over the Dutch/German border another Ultrasun production facility was set up.

In 1985 Ultrasun International's head quarters was expanding and needed a bigger warehouse facility as well as office space. Ultrasun moved to a two storey building in Hengelo, the Netherlands. Now however the former building is occupied by the Sunfit division.
