Description

Corporate Officers Richard Hurter President KUPA Inc. — A Brief History: How We Started Mr. Robert Upshaw and Mr. Kito Ochi founded KUPA in 1984 to meet the needs of the young and growing nail salon industry. They named their company KUPA, an acronym combining the names Kito, Upshaw, and Associates. The first revolutionary products for KUPA grew from their extensive knowledge of dental products. Both of these gentlemen had a long history of working with dental industry products. Mr. Upshaw had been working in the dental industry since the 1940s when he became a Certified Dental Technician in U.S. Naval hospitals. After owning and managing dental laboratories and supply companies, Mr. Upshaw became acquainted with the nail salon industry in the early 1980s. At that time, the industry was in its infancy and the nail technicians were forced to adopt products from the dental profession few actual "nail products" existed at that time. The lack of products spurred Mr. Upshaw to attend a beauty trade show. There, he witnessed nail technicians demonstrating the application of what appeared to be the same product he had previously used in the manufacture of dental implants. As he watched the nail technicians work with the acrylic, he was reminded of how difficult it could be to shape and file. He knew that the dental industry had recently begun using electric files to successfully shape this material and realized that it could be adopted for the nail industry as well. Following the show, he reached out to Mr. Ochi, an American dental technician he had known since the 1950s. After beginning a collaboration with Mr. Ochi, the two contacted a Japanese manufacturer that had supplied electric filing equipment to dental technicians and dentists. That was the beginning of KUPA Inc. After just two years, Urawa Corp., a Japanese manufacturer of high-quality electric filing equipment, approached KUPA and proposed developing a new filing product specifically for the nail industry. Mr. Upshaw and Mr. Ochi quickly agreed to the partnership, knowing that the nail industry would benefit from such a specialized product. Over the course of the next several months, Urawa and KUPA designed an electric filing machine that would meet the needs of nail technicians while maintaining the quality dental technicians had come to expect. The resulting product, the UP-200 set the standard for quality electric files in the nail industry. More than 20 years later, Urawa Corp. continues to manufacture the UP-200 exclusively for KUPA. (Urawa Corp. also manufactures the Super Upower and cordless G3 for KUPA.) The UP-200 became a quick success and rapid expansion of KUPA followed over the next few years. Products were introduced at trade shows across the country, and dealers quickly signed on as product awareness increased and they learned of KUPA's personalized service. WHERE WE ARE NOW The KUPA name is now synonymous with high-quality electric nail filing equipment. Many technicians refer to their machines simply as "The KUPA". When Mr. Ochi passed away in 1994, Mr. Upshaw became the sole leader of the company. Since that time, Mr. Upshaw has led the company to explosive growth - more than 200% until his retirement in 2010, when he was succeeded by Richard Hurter. Richard has been with Kupa since 1984. He has a wealth of knowledge and foresight for this industry. His expertise and creativity will continue to bring new and quality products to nail salons everywhere. Over the past few years, KUPA has implemented a four-point plan to develop several proprietary products: 1. Middle-Market Electric Nail File Machine.
