Recharge Yourself Concept
When you lead a busy life, it’s easy for your energy levels to fall out of balance. That’s why it’s important that we take a few moments to enjoy a little “me time” to get that energy back. The natural way to do that is by experiencing the warmth and vitality that we get from sunlight. It’s an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, just like getting enough sleep, exercising regularly and eating well.
Sunlight lifts our mood and makes us feel great. It gives us a boost of energy throughout the day and helps to produce Vitamin D3. In fact, sunlight can have such a powerful effect on well-being, it’s what inspired us to design some of the most innovative tanning devices in the world for you to get your energy back – Recharge Yourself – and continue with your busy life.
From relaxing lay-down beds that will help you to build up a healthy tan, to the i-series stand-ups that give you the freedom to move and re-energise. All the while you Recharge Yourself and enjoy some precious personal time.

The Foundation of Ultrasun International
Willem Fabels founded Ultrasun International in 1974. He started off working from his office at home but soon needed more space, and so Ultrasun opened its first office and warehouse facility in Enschede, the Netherlands, later that year.
In 1975, Ultrasun would create its first facial device, the Ultrasun 1500. And it was an instant success, with tens of thousands getting sold out all across the world.

After the success of the Ultrasun 1500 and to keep up with worldwide demand, we opened a facility in Germany in addition to the one in the Netherlands. To keep the bond between both companies the new facility was built in Salzbergen just over the Dutch/German border.
But Ultrasun kept on growing, in 1985 Ultrasun International moved to a new headquarters with a bigger warehouse facility as well as larger office space.
In 1986 the Ultrasun 20.000 Turbo broke all conventions by being the first tanning system with only high-pressure lamps. In addition, we created a new brand under the Ultrasun umbrella, Sunfit Lighting, which creates the lamps for our tanning devices.
