Thermatex

[poiuytrewq]

Sorry if already posted but I see that thermatex has been taken on by Racesafe and will resume operations shortly

Read this earlier today. It's really great news.

 

[poiuytrewq]

Yes great. I did think surely someone would keep such a successful company going.
Has anyone ever had a thermatex and not liked it? They must be the most loved brand!

 

[tda]

I never had one but will definitely get one if they do restart production

 

[kathantoinette]

That’s great news, thank you for sharing

 

[ElleSkywalker]

And Nuumed too

 

[Traks]

Oh my goodness this is amazing news!

I'm so pleased, I love my thermatex rugs.

 

[Nicnac]

Brilliant although Thermatex last forever! Maybe the mini shetland needs one .....

 

[druid]

Fab news!

Good news but it looks like they are moving production and existing staff will be training up the race safe staff so a little sad if they end up without a job

Oh yes that would be sad, I'd hoped staff would keep jobs and the area keep the industry.

I've only had second hand ones but had decided to maybe treat myself as I *fingers x'd have a long term forever horse now just as they closed!

When I worked on a big yard we had only one real thermatex and a variety of knock off types- all of which were good but if i had 6 horses hot and sweaty to wash off, you could guarentee the one in the thermatex would be dried off fastest and be bone dry and warm underneath.

Racesafe secures Nuumed and Thermatex, keeping production in Britain

British equestrian brands, Nuumed and Thermatex, have found a new home with Racesafe and will continue to be manufactured in the UK.

And looks like the race safe factory is in Northampton

 

[poiuytrewq]

Let’s hope they keep the quality

 

[Alibear]

Yep I've had two horses that just found them horribly itchy, two different rugs so it wasn't an issue with a specific rug. Odd I know as everyone raves about them, which meant I could sell them on easily

 

[Squeak]

Great news and although it's sad if the current factory doesn't continue manufacturing moving to another factory in England is probably the next best thing.

Thermatex used to be here in West Wales (about 13 miles from me in Cardigan), my wife worked there years ago (1992 onwards) as did a friend of mine . I went round the factory and had a look. Nicely run and it was a shame when it shut down last year and everybody was out of work. I get very few Thermatex rugs in to repair as they were very well made.
I hope the quality will be as good as it was and I wish them luck. SO nice to have something made in this country instead of abroad.

Yes I hope the quality and thickness remains and they don’t skimp on the fabric an end up with a lighter version to save money!
