DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTS
FOR DIVERSIFIED CUSTOMER NEEDS
Founded in 1985 in North Canton,
Ohio by Mark and Wendy Jeffries, Thermtrol has grown from a small
home-based business into a progressive, efficient global entity
with customers around the world. Today, we offer a variety of
products for a multitude of industrial applications including
industrial equipment, automotive, agriculture, HVAC, communications,
and more.
With humble beginnings as Light
Time Delay Sales, we offered a single product - the TD-7, a garage
door light time delay relay. In just a few short years, the company
reorganized as Thermtrol after engineering a successful line of
probe thermostat switches for pressure washer and related industrial
equipment manufacturers. In 1990, Thermtrol was recognized as
a key value-added partner to Texas Instruments Sensors & Controls
Division (now Sensata Technologies) for our demonstrated pattern
of superior customer service, product quality, and pragmatic "can
do" attitude.
Following continued alliances and
value-added partnerships with many firms in the thermal overload
industry, Thermtrol made its first major acquisition in 1996 with
the purchase of Mighty Mite Controls of Akron, Ohio. Mighty Mite
Controls, a vanguard in the development of bimetal thermostats
for the appliance market with origins dating back to the 1950s,
helped propel Thermtrol into an innovative products company. In
1997, we successfully released the SH7AM series self-hold protector,
a device that has become the standard in many motor and appliance
protective applications.
In 2002, Thermtrol pioneered into
the global market by opening its first international sales branch
office in Hong Kong. This move followed the increase in demand
for Thermtrol products, most notably in Asia. At the same time,
Thermtrol launched its first wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary,
Thermtrol VSIP Co. Ltd., on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam, to take advantage of the solid Asian manufacturing environment
and established local sourcing with related electrical component
assembly including wiring harness assembly.
Most recently, Thermtrol continued
to its successful plan of adding businesses and product lines
with the acquisition of MGI Manufacturing in Cary, Illinois, renamed
as MGI Global to reflect the global capabilities of the entire
Thermtrol family. This acquisition brings specialty engineering
and plastic molding expertise in manufacturing wire harnesses
for the automotive and related industries.
In the future, Thermtrol will continue
to grow at a pace that ensures our commitment to success by filling
our customers' unique needs while reducing their total cost. Thermtrol
strives to be not only your partner in Thermtrol Protection and
Wire Assembly, but also Your Partner for the Future.
