Earthlite and Capsix announce a strategic distribution and co-development agreement / Earthlite
Capsix, a leader in advanced robotic massage technology based in Lyon, France, and Earthlite LLC, the world’s premier manufacturer of high-quality treatment tables and wellness equipment based in Vista, CA and sister company of Living Earth Crafts, today announced a strategic distribution and co-development agreement designed to bring innovative, touchless wellness experiences to a broader global market. This collaboration merges Capsix’s pioneering iYU robotic massage solution on skin with Earthlite’s trusted product ecosystem to address the surging demand for autonomous and accessible massage therapy solutions in wellness, spa, hospitality, and fitness environments.
Under this agreement, Earthlite will serve as an exclusive distribution partner for the iYU robotic massage system in North America, Mexico and Caribbean, helping to accelerate adoption of this new wellness category through its global customer base. In addition, the two companies will co-develop integrated solutions that align Earthlite’s ergonomic massage tables and treatment surfaces with the iYU platform for seamless, turnkey installations in professional environments.
A new frontier in massage therapy:
The iYU system brings together artificial intelligence and state-of-the-art robotics to replicate expert massage protocols with precision and consistency 24/7. By scanning a client’s body and adapting treatment in real time, iYU enables personalized, high-quality massage experiences on skin without direct human contact or the use of a bodysuit — appealing to users who seek privacy, accessibility, efficiency, and dependable performance in wellness offerings. iYU is designed to support recovery, helping the body and mind restore balance after physical, mental, or emotional stress. Its benefits are scientifically validated, including improvements in muscle tension, stress reduction, and overall well-being, positioning iYU as a valuable asset for longevity-focused and high-end wellness offerings.
Earthlite has long been recognized as the industry’s leading provider of massage tables, chairs, accessories, and supplies — serving health professionals, spa operators, and wellness practitioners with unmatched quality and durability. The company’s products are engineered for ergonomic performance and built with sustainable materials that support comfort and professional use. Building on this legacy of innovation and craftsmanship, Earthlite’s portfolio includes Living Earth Crafts (LEC), its premier luxury spa and wellness equipment brand. As part of the Earthlite family offering, the Capsix treatment table will be available through both Earthlite and LEC, expanding access across professional spa and wellness markets.
Executive perspectives:
“This agreement brings together two innovators in the wellness space,” said François Eyssautier, CEO of Capsix. “By partnering with Earthlite, we are tapping into a trusted distribution channel that shares our commitment to elevating massage therapy and expanding access to touchless solutions worldwide. Together, we will set new benchmarks for wellness experiences that combine AI and robotic technology with human-centric design grounded in scientific evidence.”
“Earthlite is thrilled to introduce AI drive, touchless massage technology to our product portfolio that meets evolving client expectations,” said Jim Chenevey, Earthlite chief innovation officer, “The integration of Capsix’s iYU system with our premium tables will empower our partners to deliver consistent, unattended, on-skin wellness services. This collaboration underscores our shared mission to elevate client care.”
Market opportunity
The trend toward autonomous and digital wellness solutions has accelerated as consumers increasingly seek convenient, reliable, and hygienic health experiences. Touchless massage systems like iYU are gaining traction in premium gyms, hotels, airports, corporate wellness programs, and luxury spas or longevity centers, where traditional staffing constraints and expectations around wellness personalization are shaping new service models.
Through this strategic partnership, Earthlite and Capsix will work closely to deploy integrated solutions that expand revenue potential for service providers and enrich client satisfaction worldwide.
Earthlite intends to exhibit the latest iYU robotic massage system at the Living Earth Crafts Experience Room at the International Spa Association (ISPA) Conference at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas, March 30-April 2, 2026.
