Made in USA & Ireland
Since the first Therm-a-Rest® self-inflating air pad was created in 1972, a central pillar of our ethos has been to make what we sell.
Between our company-owned manufacturing facilities in Reno NV and Cork, Ireland, the vast majority of our sales world-wide come from products that have been built by the hearts, minds and hands of Therm-a-Rest employees. In business-speak, this is called vertical integration and we’re committed to it because it results in huge benefits when it comes to innovation, quality, stewardship and service.
Innovation and Quality
First, having production and innovation under one roof, allows us to develop new technologies and prototypes quickly, without waiting for a shipment from a factory an ocean away. In fact, many of our innovative products are built with machines and tools we designed and refined in parallel with product development; a unique benefit that cannot be overstated.
Stewardship
Being in control of our manufacturing, from start to finish, gives us full transparency and responsibility to affect how we do things, what materials we choose, and who we got those materials from.
A great collateral benefit of regional sourcing and manufacturing is reducing our global carbon footprint. The localized approach eliminates redundant shipping needs of raw goods and reduces the distance finished products need to travel. That’s not just smart business; that’s the right thing to do for the planet.
Service
In-market production allows us to offer you the best customer and dealer service possible. When you call us, you talk to someone who knows our products inside and out and is motivated to ensure your complete satisfaction. Repairs are made on-site, often by people who have experience making our products from scratch. Each repair is made with the same tools, technology and raw materials that go into making our products every day. That kind of service, combined with a limited lifetime warranty, means Therm-a-Rest products provide lasting comfort and peace-of-mind.
