What UPRtek | Company HQ does

UPRtek (United Power Research Technology Corp.) is a Taiwan-based manufacturer of portable, high-precision spectral light measurement instruments, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Miaoli County. The company designs and produces handheld spectrometers (MK350S Premium, MK350N Premium), portable and desktop spectroradiometers (MK550T, MD100N), spectral PAR meters (PG200N), spectral UV meters (UV100N), imaging colorimeters (MA Series), and cinema-grade spectral meters (CV600), all complemented by a software ecosystem (uSpectrum PC, uFlicker, Mobile App) and an SDK for automated integration. Its core technology centers on miniaturizing laboratory-grade spectral measurement into portable, cost-effective form factors that enable LED light quality, color, and spectral property measurement in production and field environments. The company sells primarily to LED manufacturers for end-of-line quality control, lighting designers, academics, semiconductor fabs, cinema/entertainment lighting professionals, and indoor agriculture operators, with a client base spanning LED packaging, display panel, and plant breeding companies. Its revenue model combines hardware sales (one-time license), software subscriptions (uSpectrum, uFlicker), calibration and repair services, and usage-based spectroradiometer rentals. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise field sales supported by a certified global reseller network, supplemented by retail availability through B&H Photo in the US. In 2026, UPRtek passed BSI third-party ESG verification and transitioned to eco-friendly packaging, signaling a focus on sustainability positioning alongside its instrument business.
