The History of Thule

Thule was founded by Erik Thulin in 1942, in the deepest forest of Småland, Sweden. A true outdoor enthusiast - who initially designed products like fishing traps.  

Over the decades, the brand evolved to focus on products that help people transport gear for outdoor adventures. Thule's mission became about enabling active lifestyles by creating solutions like roof racks, bike carriers, and roof boxes that allow customers to bring their gear wherever their passion takes them.

Throughout history, Thule has maintained focus on designing high-quality and durable products. Their innovative approach extends to developing new ways to transport items safely and securely.

As the brand expanded globally, it became synonymous with reliability and adventure, supporting a wide range of activities, from road trips to extreme sports.

Today, Thule is a leader in creating products that help people live active lives outdoors while keeping their gear safe and easy to carry.

This evolution shows Thule's commitment to helping customers "bring your life" wherever they go, whether it’s a weekend adventure or a long-term exploration. The company continues to prioritize sustainability and innovation as it grows.
