About UCS Inc.
Founded in 1967 as Universal Canvas and Sling, Inc. in Hackensack, New Jersey, UCS Spirit has journeyed from manufacturing canvas products to becoming a recognized leader in the sports equipment industry. The company saw the potential in track and field equipment, particularly in pole vaulting, when Jeff Schwartz, the son of founder Lou Schwartz, collaborated with Coach Bill Bowerman of the University of Oregon. This partnership led to the production of the first pole vault mats that demonstrated exceptional quality and performance.
By the late 1980s, after relocating to Carson City, Nevada, UCS Spirit introduced fiberglass pole vaulting poles, expanding its offerings to include a wide range of athletic equipment. Over the years, the brand has established itself as the premier manufacturer not only of track and field equipment but also of gymnastics mats and strength training apparatus. With a mission to provide the highest performing sports equipment, UCS has proudly served as the official supplier for several Olympic Games, showcasing its commitment to quality and innovation. Today, the company operates from a facility in Minden, Nevada, continually pushing the boundaries of sporting goods manufacturing.
