What uvoji by T.zic does

uvoji by T.zic is a French designer and manufacturer of LED UV-C disinfection systems for water and surfaces, headquartered in Clapiers near Montpellier and operating under the legal entity THOMAS ZUNINO INNOVATION CONSEIL (SAS). Founded in 2016 by three engineers — Thomas Zunino, Thomas Secaud, and Manuel Bouhelier — the company develops its core technology (LED-based ultraviolet-C photon disinfection that inactivates pathogens by breaking their DNA/RNA) in-house and assembles all products in France. Its product portfolio is organized in two families: the Oji line of water purification systems (Oji Camp for recreational vehicles, Oji Van for vans, Oji Nautic for boats, Oji Fluvial for barges and floating homes, Oji Micro for OEM integration, and Oji Waste for wastewater), and the Uvo Care / Uvo Care Flash line of surface and mask disinfection devices launched in 2020.

The business model is primarily hardware sales through a hybrid channel structure: direct e-commerce via uvoji.com, a French and European specialty distributor network in the RV (Narbonne Accessoires, H2R Équipements) and marine (SEIMI, Big Ship, Accastillage Diffusion) verticals, mass-market e-commerce marketplaces (Cdiscount), medical/professional equipment distributors (Kelis Medical, Bio V4T), and OEM integration partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; products carry a two-year manufacturer warranty and a claimed 10,000+ hour LED lifespan. Customer segments span SMB/consumer RV and marine owners, professional B2B buyers (hospitality, healthcare, education, legal), floating-habitat residents, OEM manufacturers, and humanitarian deployments via a partnership with Croix-Rouge française. The company is privately held, has raised approximately €1.1M since inception (notably from Provence Business Angels, WeLikeStartup, WiSEED, and Croix-Rouge française), and has accumulated multiple French and EU certifications including ACS, Önorm M5873-1, CE, GreenTech, NF T72-281, and LNE efficacy validations.
