Gentherm Incorporated is a company dedicated to the creation, production, and sale of advanced thermal management technologies. Its operations are divided into two principal business segments: Automotive and Medical. The Automotive segment offers an extensive range of climate comfort systems, encompassing active heating and cooling solutions for seats (utilizing heaters, blowers, and thermoelectric devices for precise temperature regulation), heated steering wheels, and specialized thermal comfort products for areas like the neck, door panels, armrests, cupholders, and storage bins. This segment also develops integrated electronic components, including proprietary electronic control units (ECUs) and software essential for these comfort features, as well as general automotive electronic and software systems like memory seat modules. Additionally, Gentherm provides battery performance solutions, which include cell connecting devices, advanced battery cable technologies, and thermal management systems designed to heat and cool 12-volt, 48-volt, and high-voltage automotive batteries and modules. Its clientele in this segment primarily consists of light vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), key first-tier suppliers (such as automotive seat manufacturers), and aftermarket seat distributors and installers. The Medical segment focuses on delivering systems for managing patient temperature. Gentherm has a wide international footprint, with its products and services available across the United States, Germany, Canada, China, Hungary, Japan, South Korea, Romania, Macedonia, Malta, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Founded in 1991 as Amerigon Incorporated, the company rebranded to Gentherm Incorporated in September 2012 and is based in Northville, Michigan.
