Gentherm Incorporated is a leading supplier of thermal seat comfort systems and wired systems serving the global automotive industry. The company is striving to expand the application of its existing technology for new markets and products, and to develop and improve new technologies to make existing products more efficient. The Company's traditional main business is the sale of Ambient Control Seat (CCS) TM products to automobile and light train OEMs or their Tier 1 suppliers. CCS provides long-term comfort to people in car seats through heating and cooling functions. Since the first advent of CCS, new designs have been introduced, with advancements in power generation efficiency, size, weight, noise and versatility. The new design also includes micro-module technology (CCSII configuration), and a CCS variant (HV) for heating and ventilation. HV relies on the use of air around the car to provide cooling, rather than thermoelectric devices. This is like the device on its MTM and CCSII products. Further improvements in the design are still underway and will be used on future car models. The company has also introduced vehicle heating and cooling cup holders and a set of heating and cooling luxury car mats to its product portfolio, using technology similar to that of the CCS system. The cup holder has been installed in a variety of devices to adapt to different operating environments. In addition to reducing power, the cup holder has achieved automotive-grade durability, high reliability and liquid retention. The company is also engaged in a program to improve the efficiency of TED, based on this technology, to develop, market and distribute new products. Included in this step is the development and testing of new materials that enhance the thermoelectric effect.
