Therm-ic’s products have a variety of benefits, from enhancing human well-being, to significantly increasing an athlete’s performance. Moreover, they have a preventive effect as they reduce the risk of injury. The company was founded in 1975 and has been a member of the SIDAS group since 2013. Thanks to its broad range of specialist products in the field of personalized footwear, SIDAS is the world’s leading foot expert.
The founders of Therm-ic must have had very cold hand and feet, because in the 1970s, they decided to find a solution to this problem. After a lot of development, testing, trial and error and even going back to the drawing board, they developed a heated insole that could be used in any (ski) boot. This smart solution was the beginning of the success story of Therm-ic, the brand that has been keeping everyone wonderfully warm ever since 1998.
In collaboration with universities and various research institutes, Therm-ic tried has been researching the negative impact of cold conditions on the human body: how does it start? Which effects does it have on performance, safety, coordination and balance? Which health problems can hypothermia cause? And, more importantly, how can body heat be retained?
Therm-ic became the ultimate expert in heating solutions, increasingly recognised for its knowledge and expertise. The Therm-ic team started talking to people all over the world and convincing brands, companies and consumers that there really is a solution for cold feet. Under the leadership of August Stangl, who has a long history with Therm-ic, the brand grew and started exporting. Soon, Therm-ic's products could be found in more than 30 countries worldwide.
This growth led to many great innovations, including permanent warmth for hands and feet, insulation for the whole body and care products. In addition to products powered by batteries or connected via Bluetooth, Therm-ic also created environmentally friendly, non-electronic solutions. Being cold is now a thing of the past.
Therm-ic is now part of the SIDAS Group and they offer a wide range of heated insoles, socks and gloves.
