Kupa Nail Drill
The Kupa Nail Drill
Kupa was founded by Mr. Kito Ochi in 1984. His goal was to fulfill the demands of the nail industry, which the younger generation seemed particularly attracted to. KUPA is an acronym for the names Kito, Upshaw and Associates. The initial products of the company were born due to Mr. Kito and Upshaw’s knowledge of dental products.
Mr. Upshaw had been in the dental industry for several years and was a dental technician in the US Naval hospitals. His knowledge of dental lab products is what helped him become acquainted with the nail filing products. Mr. Upshaw approached his colleague Mr. Kito Ochi, whom he’d known since 1950, and within two years KUPA was contacted by a Japanese manufacturer Urawa Corp. who offered to manufacture top quality nail filing drills for the company.
Nail Drills
Urawa Corp. in collaboration with Mr. Upshaw and Mr. Kito designed a nail filing machine in accordance with the quality the two dental technicians were expecting. After the finalization of the design the UP-200 was formed. It was an immediate success gaining fame with the top salons of the world. UP-200 became a standard to be compared with. The UP-200 also acted as a catalyst for the rapid expansion of the KUPA Inc.
These Nail drills are not suitable for home usage and can be dangerous if not being used by trained technicians; they are mainly aimed for the salon industry where there are trained personnel who can work with these machines in an effective manner. The machine in an untrained hand can be very dangerous but in a trained hand it can do wonders. Kupa also offers free salon educational classes to train people.
