Founded in 1979 as a family-owned enterprise, HEX Equipment began its journey by manufacturing UV phototherapy devices for medical professionals treating various skin conditions. Recognizing the potential of light-based therapies, we expanded our expertise, becoming the first indoor tanning equipment manufacturer in the United States. Our innovation led to the creation of vertical tanning systems now utilized across six continents.
Over the decades, we’ve diversified our product line to include red light wellness equipment, Near Infrared (NIR) photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy devices, and UVC sanitation equipment. Our enduring commitment to quality ensures that many of our machines, even those built decades ago, continue to operate efficiently, delivering consistent profits for our clients.
Our Philosophy
At HEX Equipment, we adhere to four foundational principles:
- Simplicity: Designing user-friendly equipment that integrates seamlessly into various settings.
- Sustainability: Prioritizing eco-friendly practices and materials in our manufacturing processes.
- Low Maintenance: Engineering durable products that require minimal upkeep.
- Exceptional Customer Service: Providing unwavering support to our clients worldwide.
Our Legacy
Before the inception of HEX, our team specialized in crafting phototherapy equipment for the medical sector. This foundation in medical-grade technology paved the way for our venture into the tanning industry, where we introduced the world’s first stand-up tanning system. While many have since emulated our designs, our commitment to innovation and quality remains unmatched.
Engineering Excellence
Our dedication to superior engineering is evident in every product:
- Optimized Lamp Configuration: Through meticulous engineering studies, we’ve determined the ideal number and placement of lamps to maximize performance and efficiency, ensuring optimal tanning results without unnecessary energy consumption.
