Future Direction
Innovation is in our DNA. UVDI’s passion for and expertise in UV-C technology for cleaner environments began with Peter’s grandfather, Louis (Lou) Veloz. Lou worked as an engineer for Westinghouse when it developed and patented the first commercially available ultraviolet lamps. Excited by UV technology’s potential, Lou purchased a Westinghouse dealership in 1949 and moved his family to Southern California. He, and, later his son, Tom Veloz, continued innovating in UV, especially in the realm of water purification.
UVDI was founded in 1992, when Tom Veloz created a state-of-the-art company to expand into consumer water disinfection. In the years to come, millions of UVDI point-of-use systems would be sold worldwide.
In 2000, UVDI launched our first UV air disinfection products for better Indoor Air Quality in commercial environments. In 2006, UVDI expanded our Indoor Air Quality footprint by acquiring Sparks Technology, making UVDI the exclusive manufacturer of Bonded Particulate Structure (BPS) technology. UVDI’s UV-C Indoor Air Quality portfolio has expanded to include advanced UV-C technology for coil cleaning, air purification and air disinfection.
In 2012, UVDI launched one of the first UV room disinfection devices – the V-360® – to help hospitals address the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms on surfaces. In 2014, UVDI entered into a fruitful six-year commercial partnership with Clorox Healthcare to market and sell the UVDI-360 Room Sanitizer in the United States. Today, the UVDI-360 Room Sanitizer’s effectiveness has been demonstrated in independent clinical and laboratory studies by leading international Healthcare researchers and is used in 28 countries.
