Joseph Soptich
Company Founder
Joe to everyone, noticed how many
people wanted to extend the use of their Recreational Vehicle
to year round and cold weather enjoyment. Snow skiing, snowmobiling,
hunting and may other activates were becoming just another reason families and
persons would like to use their units. Cold weather caused holding tanks and
exposed pipes to freeze-up, leaving the utilities useless.
Joe passed away on June 3,
2005, but he developed a great program that today remains the
RV Industry's leading design to prevent tank and pipe freeze-ups.
His "Full Contact" RV Holding Tank Heater Panels quickly gained UL approval
and has met the standards for other stringent independent third party safety
testing and listings needed for different International Markets. In 1991, Joe incorporated
Ultra-Heat, Inc. and located it right in the middle of the nation's largest RV
manufacturing base, Elkhart Indiana.
Joe's vision and design talents led
to one of the most popular and asked for "add-on" products ever
developed for the RV market. A heating system so simple, that RV
owners could do their own installations to retro-fit any RV. These new products opened the door to further winter use
advancements within the RV Industry, as archived in the "RV Hall of Fame". Manufactures moved from three season, winter storage or "run for the sun"
designs, to full time destination parking four season use.
The UltraHeat® brand of efficient full
contact electric heaters apply the heat right where it's needed most, directly
on the Holding Tanks, Drain Pipes and Gate Valves. This is
done without special tools or the need to cover and restrict
access to an RV underbelly.

Joe guided
the promotion of the UltraHeat® brand to an early and lasting lead, being
the first in this new RV Winter Freeze Protection market. Because
of Joe's emphasis on quality materials and high testing standards both in
finish product and performance, these products quickly gained attention of the Consumer
and RV Dealerships as well as most all North American RV Manufacturers.
As the company continues to grow, we at Ultra Heat, Inc. stride to maintain Joe’s friendly
"one-on-one" way of doing business.
The success
of the UltraHeat® brand has now extended onto the global market. These
Heat Panels have rapidly been recognized as the "standard" to use not only
in the North American RV markets, now the overseas Caravan and Motorhome
Industries have adopted their use as well. As the Mobile Vacation trends
continue to expand and grow worldwide, our company is already positioned to be
in the forefront, providing products tailored and unique to the different
markets. This global advancement is in part the reason our company’s adaptation
of the new manufacturing operations name, “UHI Worldwide, Inc.” back in
2006. Our unique and sometimes niche market
heating system designs are now used throughout the world, and the standard for use
within several other industries as well.
We thank you
for taking the time to learn about our special line of "Full
Contact" UltraHeat® panels and a little of our history. Your RV or Caravan may already be
equipped with some of our heaters. To find out if your unit is fully or only
partially protected against cold weather freeze-up, please educate yourself by
exploring more of our website and take the time to review your own unit’s cold
weather capabilities. Get the peace of
mind that your unit is prepared for four-season use and enjoy your Vacation,
Holiday or get-a-way.
Please register
your purchased products and ask for a registration sticker to display on your
RV. Once all the tanks, pipes and termination valves are protected
with UltraHeat® Heat panels, your unit will have additional market value
because it will be better prepared for year-round-use. |
