Karen Short, ceo

Background
Founded in 1982 by Marti Morenings, Universal Companies entered the health and wellness industry as Universal Health Products. In 1999, the company grew, becoming Universal Companies, a single source for spas and destination properties. It acquired SpaEquip in 2015, expanding its spa development services.

Main products and services
For more than 40 years, Universal Companies has helped spas and salons manage and grow their businesses. As a trusted key supplier for 84,000+ active customers worldwide, we provide a full range of operational supplies, professional products and equipment through an ecommerce website, knowledgeable sales team, and convenient catalog.
To enhance our customers’ success, we’ve developed exclusive brand partnerships, retail strategies, free tools and resources, plus a robust educational platform. Spa development and expansion, including award-winning design solutions, are also core components of our service offerings. From space planning to feasibility studies and global consolidation, a dedicated project manager will coordinate everything needed.
We serve individual practitioners and spas of all sizes.
