Meet the UPI Global Ingredients
Management Team

In 1960, Herbert Ravitz founded Universal Preservachem Inc. (UPI) with a vision: to provide exceptional chemical ingredients to the food and cosmetic industries while upholding the highest standards of integrity, quality, and service. His business philosophy was built on a strong foundation of people, process, and product, with principles rooted in honesty, hard work, and ethical business practices.

These values were carried forward by his sons, Michael and Daniel Ravitz, who have expanded upon their father’s vision, transforming UPI into a leading supplier of natural ingredients and specialty chemicals across a wide range of industries.

Today, as a third-generation, family-owned company, UPI continues to evolve while remaining true to its core values. With over 65 years of excellence, we have grown into one of North America's premier suppliers, serving industries such as food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, fragrance, industrial, and beyond.

Our success is powered by our dedicated and passionate team—the backbone of UPI. Every member of our organization plays a crucial role in ensuring that our customers receive the highest-quality products, world-class service, and innovative solutions to meet their needs.
