About Universal Electronics

Universal Electronics designs, manufactures, and supports wireless control hardware and software for home entertainment, smart home, HVAC, and security device ecosystems. The company sells into video distributors, telecommunications providers, TV manufacturers, smart home platforms, and HVAC system makers—primarily through OEM partnerships rather than direct-to-consumer channels. With over 35 years in the market and a footprint spanning the United States, Vietnam, India, Brazil, and the Netherlands, UEI operates a vertically integrated model: product design (CAD, embedded C#/Python), manufacturing (test stations, soldering, assembly), and cloud services (QuickSet platform for device pairing and control). The 1,000+ employee base supports both hardware production scale and the compliance/regulatory overhead of a public manufacturing company.
